The Women Empowerment Cell of Mar Thoma College, Tiruvalla successfully organised a Skill Training Programme – Hands-on Session on Candle Making on 16 December at 11.00 a.m. in Room No. A9.
The programme was conducted with the objective of empowering women students by equipping them with practical skills that can support self-employment and entrepreneurial initiatives.
