these issues. Students are required to present feedback collected from their team on their
effectiveness as a leader and a brief reflection on their success as a team leader.

Lessons learned
It was extremely important to incorporate better methods to spread
awareness about all the programs, which could include advertisement on
radio and television which was not followed and distribution of brochures
and leaflets were only done to achieve the goal. In addition to this, more
number of lady professionals should have been concerned with the
interactive sessions so that the women of the community could participate
with ease as the community was extremely conservative in nature.
