In a major step toward women’s empowerment and livelihood enhancement in Odisha, the Mission Shakti Department has launched a two-day state-level skill development training programme for Community Support Staff (CSS). The initiative aims to strengthen women-led enterprises, boost income generation, and support grassroots development.
A total of 62,341 Community Support Staff across the state will receive this training. The first batch, launched today at Mission Shakti Bhawan, includes 150 participants from Puri, Ganjam, and Keonjhar districts. The programme will gradually be expanded to all districts of Odisha.
Deputy Chief Minister Prabhati Parida attended the inaugural session and interacted with women participants from the three districts.
