On December 5, 2023, the SPS India Foundation warmly received Fr. Agilan, the Provincial of the Salesian Province of Trichy, for a productive review meeting. The gathering included 35 members, comprising Program executives and implementers, fostering a positive interaction between them.

The event commenced with a welcoming address by Fr. Selvakumar, the project director of the SPS India Foundation. Following this, Ms. Kiruthiga, the Program executive from the Desai Foundation Trust, shared insights with the implementers and the data support team. The exchange involved addressing queries and compliance matters.

Fr. Agilan dedicated valuable time to engage with implementers and Community facilitators, attentively listening to their experiences categorized by zones. Subsequently, the data team provided an overview of their work, emphasizing the significant impact made through night schools in caring for students.

During the session, several women expressed gratitude towards Fr. Selvakumar and the SPS India Foundation for organizing the spice-making program, which has empowered women across Tamil Nadu, particularly in areas like Yercaud, Salem, Dindugul, and Namakkal. The women successfully completed assigned tasks, contributing to progress in certification and marketing. This initiative has instilled positivity among women, making their lives remarkable and providing self-confidence, thereby paving the way for home-based businesses.
