This is in reference to the encouraging front page report of TDS dated October 14, 2014. With little help, a group of underprivileged women have learnt to overcome odds and are now making a living in Bogra, as the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs in collaboration with UCEP is providing technical training such as basic computer skills, driving, auto-mechanics etc. to them. This training will give its participants, many of whom are survivors of domestic violence, a chance to stand on their own feet.
