Earlier on 26th April 2026, the Arunachal Pradesh State Council for Science and Technology (APSCS&T) organised a one-day workshop titled “She-Cut, She-Seals, She-Sells: Empowering Rural Women of Arunachal Pradesh” at Joram village, Keyi Panyor district, as part of the International Women’s Day Celebration.

The programme brought together around 30 rural women entrepreneurs involved in small-scale businesses such as pickle-making, spice processing, and other local products from Suil Joram and neighbouring villages.

The workshop was attended by Shri Pill Kamin (GPM, Suil Joram), Miss Tana Yath (CFL Secretary), and Shri K. Heinglung Joseph (Principal, Bomi English School, Joram).

Delivering the welcome address, Dr. Pakngu Lombi, Deputy Director (APSCS&T) warmly welcomed the participants and highlighted the importance of women’s empowerment and the objectives of the workshop. He encouraged the participants to remain sincere, attentive, and committed to effectively using the induction sealing machine.

Miss Neelam Kuma, Scientific Officer, (APSCS&T) demonstrated the use of the induction sealing machine and provided hands-on training to the participants. The women learned how proper packaging can extend shelf life, prevent tampering, and build consumer trust. Machines, wads, and bottles were provided during the workshop, with the Joram Tisu of Suil Joram designated as in charge.

During the interaction session, participants requested a follow-up programme focusing on marketing strategies and certification processes for locally developed products. In response, plans were shared for a future programme at DBT, Kimin.

The programme also featured the presentation of a bamboo cutting machine developed by Mr. Laigi Baht. However, due to technical issues, the machine could not be handed over on that day.

The workshop successfully equipped rural women with practical skills to strengthen their businesses and opened doors for future training and certification opportunities.
