ARCC Day!
It was a historical day when 15 rural and tribal people received their BSS certificate and 15 people received certificates in other courses. “We didn’t get a chance to go to a real college, but ARCC gave us the feeling of how it could be” shared one of the tribal women who received her government certificate in tailoring. It was a joy to see the bunch take an oath to serve the community and the nation through their skill education.
Its been 8 years since the ARCC stood its ground to do skill development for the rural and tribal folk in Anaikatty. 350 people gathered on Aug 24th, 2019 at the Bethany Campsite in Anaikatty.
