 The sessions were of as long as 3 hrs, if it could have been divided into more of practical sessions involving role play, group work, discussions, games etc. then the training would have been more useful.  There was a lack of written feedback system where the feedback is taken verbally. So, a written feedback system would help to enhance the training module.  The Size of batch was of about for the training. Managing such a large batch becomes difficult when it comes to learning. A smaller batch would have been much more effective.  The training kits were attractive and easily understood by them, but it was so small or less in quantity for the large size batch. So, a bigger training kits or larger size would have helped them understand better.
