A six-day initiative focused on skill development and traditional crafts successfully wrapped up in Varanasi this Monday. The 'Tana-Bana – Circle Weave Workshop' was designed to impart valuable creative skills to its participants.
Collaborative Effort for Skill Building
The workshop was not a standalone event but a collaborative endeavor. It was organized under the joint aegis of two prominent bodies within the Banaras Hindu University (BHU): the Well-Being Services Cell and the Centre for Integrated Rural Development (CIRD). This partnership highlights the university's commitment to holistic development and community engagement beyond academics.
Encouragement from University Leadership
During the concluding ceremony, the participants received motivation from a senior university official. Prof. Ranjan Kumar Singh, the Dean of Students at BHU, addressed the gathering. He inspired the attendees to continue learning new skills and emphasized the importance of becoming self-reliant, a crucial step towards personal and economic independence.
Recognition for Successful Participants
A key highlight of the workshop's conclusion was the recognition given to all the women who took part. Every woman participant was awarded a certificate upon the successful completion of the intensive six-day program. These certificates serve as formal acknowledgment of their newly acquired expertise in circle weaving techniques, potentially aiding them in future entrepreneurial or employment opportunities.
The 'Tana-Bana' workshop stands as a testament to BHU's active role in promoting indigenous crafts and empowering the local community, particularly women, through practical skill development initiatives in Varanasi.
