Participants took keen interest in role and responsibilities of Gender described by our society and they realized that a male can also do same work like female in a daily life. This would enable them to realize and understand mutual role and responsibilities of male and female in daily life.
In totality the participants took active part in all sessions and supported the facilitator with their valuable inputs, which made the training more efficient and productive. The participants evaluated the training in their own way and found it very useful significant for their personal development.
