During the training, the women SHGs were presented with an oil extraction machine, which was gifted to them as part of the initiative. The training focused on practical techniques for extracting mustard oil and coconut oil using the provided machine. The participants were guided through the entire extraction process, including machine operation, oil extraction techniques, and maintenance of the equipment.
