Organizers believe that exposure to diverse subjects will broaden participants' understanding of community service and strengthen their ability to address local challenges.
Strengthening Coordination Between Government and Society
Kamlesh Kumar Rai highlighted that one of the key objectives of the training is to improve coordination between government institutions and local communities.
