FTC has been started in 4 new centers in the past 3 months. FTC has been started in one of the old areas, especially in the hamlet of Seenguli, it is one of the places where ARCC began work about 8 years ago but we had to abandon it because of the laid back attitude of the people but right now our FC said that he would go and revive the place again and now a tailoring center has been started there. Another FTC has been started in kulikur where one of our tailoring staff Deepa goes every day on her bike and she teaches the woman in that center. One of our alumni Nadhia had to move out to another place called Kanuvai and even in this new place she wanted to be connected with ARCC and she started a new FTC there training the poor women in tailoring, and she is the one who trains her students in bag making and distributes the bags to them and helps them earn an income through that. Another training center has been started in Nalasingha was one, Rajiv, earlier associated with ARCC, has begun to start a computer FTC. So in each of the training centers, we have about 10-15 students gathering there every day and every month they have a meeting with the AC and the FC at ARCC who review their work and explains how it can be done, talk to them about the different challenges they face in their group in their villages and how they can overcome. As of now, we have 7 Field Training Centres. But due to COVID 19 lockdown situation, FTCs is in the pause mode.
