Speaking to the media, AP CRDA informed that in light of the ongoing capital development works and the expected inflow of workers at construction sites, 368 Self Help Group (SHG) women, who are members of the gender committees, are being sensitised on the issue of gender-based violence.
The sessions focus on the prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace. In parallel, the APCRDA is conducting several skill development programmes under the Skill Hub initiative. These include courses in painting, data entry operations, and front office management.
