To maintain the class, a part from the State’s support, the Women’s Union persuaded participants to bring vegetable, rice and burning wood to the gathering place for study. The Women’s Union also frequently examined and encouraged the participants in their study, thus obtaining good results. Subsequently, the district women’s union intends to multiply this successful example in the whole district.
