This is first time that such courses were arranged for the Thari girls by Sindh Development Organization (SDO) in collaboration with Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Program (BBSYDP).
All the girls, who had successfully completed the training courses, were given certificates at a ceremony here on Thursday. Additional Deputy Commissioner-1 Tharparkar Ms. Sara Javed distributed the certificates.
