The District Magistrate also expressed special gratitude to the Chief Development Officer, DPO (ICDS), who enthusiastically cooperated to give a concrete shape to this noble idea.
With the District Magistrate's 'Project Nanda-Sunanda', the district's poor, orphaned and helpless girls studying in other adverse circumstances will be educated to a higher education level and linked to employment by providing skill education.
