SHILLONG, Nov 5: As many as 30 inmates of District Jail, Shillong, benefitted from a two-day Beauty, Hairstyling and Makeup Workshop organised by Accentuate Makeup and Hair Academy in collaboration with the Office of the East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner, and the Meghalaya State Skill Development Society (MSSDS).
The workshop, which culminated on Wednesday, aimed to equip inmates with practical vocational skills to enhance their confidence and provide avenues for future employment. Each session, lasting four hours per day, featured detailed demonstrations and hands-on training in beauty techniques, makeup artistry and hairstyling.
