Most of them have not gone to school and some of them have studied only up to 2nd standard to 5th. These girls and boys are our old Dalit children who were child labourers and released from all kinds of hard work and SRED helped them to learn to be free and now helping them to be self- supported. All 30 of them stay at Palavoy centre of SRED to learn skills. It is a resident course for three months. Loans are loans.
Subsidies are there.
Until our Dalit women work towards getting a piece of land, all the other schemes are only for the time being. SRED is not appointing trainers for these schemes, since all the women who have been producing garments at Women Training Centre is totally co-ordinating these schemes along with production. SRED has two women intern from Nepal. They stayed at SRED for one month to learn how SRED mobilizes movements. This program was sponsored by Apwld.
