I am married to a man who is an alcoholic. Ever since we got married, he has never given even a single penny that I could spend as per my wish. He also physically abused me and all this while and I never uttered a word. One day, SEED Sakhi came to my house and told me about the stitching center and how I could earn my own money. Initially, I was reluctant but when I saw how my community women are becoming independent after learning from the center, I decided to join too. I have completed the 6-months course and now I am able to earn a fair amount for myself. I also save money by stitching clothes of my whole family.
My parents got me married at a very young age. My husband doesn’t earn well and we struggle to make the ends meet. I had never though about working as in our community women who work outside are often looked down upon. When I heard SEED Sakhi talking to a group of women, I went to see what was happening and came to know about the MSC Skill Development Center . I had always wanted to learn stitching, so I immediately registered for it. But when I went home, my family refused to let me participate until SEED Sakhi visited my house and spoke to my family. I have been getting many orders for sweaters, socks and woollen dresses for children ever since I completed my training. I earn a steady monthly income and am able to support my husband.
My father is a farmer. I wanted to study but my family couldn’t afford it. I visited the center one day out of curiosity to see how handicrafts products are made. I was always fascinated to see such beautiful things. I decided to enroll for the program then and there. My family also allowed me to take up the course as there was no fee. It gives me a feeling of great pride that I am now able to earn and support my family.
I, Neeraj Sanjay Sharma, and belong to a simple family where my entire family is financially dependent on me. It had been very difficult for us to survive during lockdown as I lost my office Executive job. One day my friend told about the free online banking professional classes jointly run by SEED and ICRA. When I contacted, I came to know that not only it is a free training but also, if completed successfully I will also get help in placement. I enrolled for the course and completed it. It was a very good platform to build my knowledge day by day during the lockdown situation. The training quality was good, and our trainer was very professional and supportive. Now I am a certified Business Correspondent and have got a job with good Salary@ Rs.18000/- Per Month. I am very grateful and thankful to SEED & ICRA team for changing my life.
My name is Vandana Choubey. After completing graduation, I was looking to join a professional course but owing to my family’s circumstances and Lockdown situation, I was really confused and helpless. It is at this time that I came to know about the Banking Course being run by SEED & ICRA. I also noticed that on completion of skill training, they will help in finding a job which motivated me to join this course. I want to thank SEED and ICRA because I got a good job after completing the course and now have a chance at building a bright future and support my family too.
We are happy to hear from you
