As a facilitator of this training program, it was my first time training to the Gond tribals. I feel very happy about the changes I saw from the first day to the third day. They became more confident in speaking and actively participated in the sessions. It was wonderful to see their growth and enthusiasm. This training made a positive impact on everyone involved, and I am proud to have been a part of it.
