Stereotype

breaking the typecast of gender based
training. Under the tie-up programme

technology leader M/s. Jaquar & Co Pvt
Ltd, “Sani-Tech course for ladies” was

maintenance. This course is a
revolutionary step in the field, as the

termed as a step towards women
empowerment and gender equality.
