As many as 4,472 girl students from 38 hostels in Dharwad district are among the total 50,000 girl students from across the State who will get training in self-defence.
Under the Obavva Art of Self Defence Training programme, the State Government plans to make girl students self-confident, physically strong and capable of protecting themselves against anything unacceptable in terms of social conduct.
These select girl students will be undergoing self-defence training for 90 days. During the training period, they will be learning Karate, Judo and Taekwondo skills so that they can skilfully tackle rogue elements.
