Addressing the valedictory function, Deputy Commissioner Kesang Ngurup Damo encouraged the trainees to “undertake such training to gain skill, especially in local products.”

WWA Tawang member Tashi Wangmu, along with trainees and officers and staffs of the district industries & skill development department also attended the programme.
