Belthangady: Students of Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) visited Sri Dharmasthala Siri Gramodyoga Samsthe, located at Renkedaguttu, Belthangady, as part of their field exposure programme.
During the visit, the General Manager of the Samsthe interacted with the students and explained the various manufacturing activities carried out at the industrial unit, including the production of garments, phenyl, liquid soaps, food products, and other consumable items.
