Attending The DISHA Foundation’s Life Skills Training Program was a turning point for me. The sessions helped me recognize how my reactions and emotions affected my relationships at work and at home. I learned the importance of emotional control, positive communication, and self-awareness in creating harmony and respect in everyday interactions. The program also strengthened my understanding of financial literacy, teaching me to save wisely, manage expenses, and make informed choices for a secure future. These learnings have helped me become more confident, balanced, and focused in both my personal and professional life.
