Self-defence training for Handique students

GUWAHATI: We Care Foundation (WCF), an NGO, in collaboration with National Service Scheme (NSS), under the state directorate of sports and youth welfare has organized a martial arts training programme for girls in the city's Handique Girls' College to equip them with self-defence techniques.
Altogether, 50 students of the college are undergoing the training programme."We have received a very positive response from the students during the training programme. We are now planning to organize similar training programmes in other educational institutions too in the coming days. Hopefully, more students will attend the training sessions as the techniques taught are very useful in today's world and also free of cost," said WCF director Meghali Das.
The directorate of sports and youth welfare extended support to the programme by providing coaches to train the girls. The training programme at Handique Girls College kicked off on April 2 and will culminate on April 12. The students have benefitted from the training programme immensely and now want the programme on martial arts to continue in their college.
