A new training project is being launched focusing on BUDS Institutions, which are jointly run by Kudumbashree and Local Self-Government Institutions for children with intellectual challenges. Kudumbashree will implement a comprehensive project aimed at the development of teenage children in BUDS Institutions.
Through this comprehensive training project, Kudumbashree aims to find solutions to the problems faced by teenage trainees in BUDS Institutions due to the gap in physical and intellectual development.
