The program was designed to enhance the leadership skills of 25 participants, including Village Coordinators, Mandal Coordinators, and the Project Coordinator, who play key roles in community development.
The training sessions covered essential leadership topics such as communication, teamwork, leadership styles, and the qualities of effective leaders. Using an activity-based learning approach, the workshop included group games and interactive sessions, creating an engaging environment for participants. The residential format further encouraged bonding and the sharing of experiences among attendees.
