The Don Bosco Skill Development Centre Parvathipuram, Andhra Pradesh, recently concluded a three-month Tally course to equip unemployed youth, mainly from tribal communities, with essential accounting and financial management skills. The initiative, held in Manyam District, attracted 45 participants and marked a significant step toward tackling unemployment and fostering self-reliance in the region.
