Zubza: Joint Director of ESD&E, Zubemo Tsanglao, during the culmination program of skill development for rural women, held at Council Hall, Zubza, highlighted that as the training centres are located in Kohima and Dimapur, the government has brought the training in the village areas to ensure broader access and inclusivity.
