“These PPE kits are making our ‘warriors’ more confident,” District Collector S. Venkata Rao said. According to DRDA officials, making (stitching) these PPE kits has been taken up on April 12, after a couple of days of orientation to the SHG women. The DRDA has also been providing meals and tea to the SHG women at Palamuru Zilla Mahila Samakhya building at Bandameedipally. Each woman is able to stitch 5 PPE kits per day. There are 250 more SHG women engaged in making masks across the district and we are paying tailoring charges of ₹5 per piece after providing the material.
