welfare centers in the region Under the proposed program a women welfare
centre has already been set up in the Divisional Secretariat Division of

Training programs. They would be provided with training in food
processing technology, sewing, tailoring, beauty culture, production of
ornamental items and manufacture of women footwear. The training
duration to each course would be one year.
All these training courses are free and they will be conducted under
the supervision of the Hakmana Divisional Secretariat Office. Diploma
