Dhumal said the skill development was a cherished dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and government was focusing on training people for self reliance. The former Chief Minister said the women were fortunate that they were trained by the Padam Shri awardee.

Now, the women should create employment opportunities by further enhancing their skills and use the techniques to develop new products so that they can increase their family incomes, he added.
