GUWAHATI, April 2: The ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) organised a five-day-long self-defense workshop for all its women employees, in partnership with the Sports, Physical Education, Fitness, and Leisure Skill Council (SPEFL-SC). The participants were trained in self-defense techniques, mental agility, and being aware of their surroundings to avoid possible danger. Earlier, the team of professional trainers from SPEFL-SC also conducted combat training for Central Armed Police Force, anti-terrorist squads deployed in states, Delhi Police trainers, and female recruits across defense organisations.
Over 50 women employees of the ministry participated in the session, which commenced on March 28, 2022. The main objective of the workshop was to make women mindful of their security and instill confidence to deal with any unforeseen situations. The training modules also taught them to be mentally strong in potentially dangerous or life-threatening situations. Upon completion, the participants were also awarded certificates by Rajesh Aggarwal, secretary, ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

Lauding the initiative, Aggarwal said, “I am glad to see our female staff exuberating with an increased level of confidence and realising the potential that they always had to fight the unknown. Training our women in self-defense techniques will not only boost their confidence but also add to their overall personality development. Each one here should realise that this workshop is just the beginning of a regime that they should imbibe in their daily lives. I am indeed very proud that we have set the ball rolling and encourage other ministries and organisations to join the cause.”
