Training on different courses offered them to choose income sources. Some were found utilizing the skills to meet their family needs, and so to speak, earn by sales. Instead of the indispensable constraints relating to management of time, staff and stakeholder, income level of the target people was found rising; school going habit among the children of the target people have risen; opportunities for alternative works increased; right based issues for the women in the family and society discussed and decided; and a kind of behavioral change in maintaining their personal and environmental hygiene was identified.
