Dadheri, MandiGobindgarh by Enactus team of Panjab University in collaboration
with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Bbukkal, a Women's
Clothing Store in MandiGobindgarh. Enactus team is working on Project Uday
which works along the lines of reducing plastic as it has become a menace to
humanity because a lot of it is non-biodegradable. The project also aims to
generate employment opportunities for the underprivileged ladies of Mandigobindgarh.

otherwise discarded and are being stitched by these skilled yet unemployed
females. The team organised a financial literacy and stitching workshop for
these females today at village Dadheri to make them aware about finances and
profits and also stiching skills required for the project. Dr. Monika Aggarwal,
SEBI financial education resource person headed the financial literacy workshop
and Mrs. Savita headed the stiching workshop. Mrs. Gagan from Bbukkal also gave
useful tips to the ladies for innovative designs of bags. About 65 people
including the ladies of the community, villagers and students participated in
the workshop.The students are very enthusiastic about this venture and look
