“To take birth in higher family is the good will of God but it is the responsibility of a man to work on High
thinking”
Ms. Sankhalata Pradhan, aged 19 years, daughter of Rahasa Pradhan and Sudara Pradhan has a strong
desire for skill learning. Today her self-­‐confidence made her to be self-­‐reliant. The problem of illiteracy and
poverty has come to an end. She was able to make money using her skill (Tailoring, Embroidery &
handicraft) learnt at Livelihood Learning Center. She was also organizing coaching classes to young girls at
her village. In the past, she used to go out with her mother and assist her in collecting firewood and leaves
from forest. The earning that has been made through selling of firewood and leaf-­‐plates is the only source
of income. She could not study any further due to her family’s financial condition and dropped out from
studies after 10 th standard. She is the only child of her parents. Income of her father and mother is not
sufficient for their livelihood and was not enough to support her education. She was identified and was
admitted into our LLC site at Bayakumutia.
Her confidence, smartness and good behavior attracted the mind of the trainers. Day by day she gained
more knowledge about the tailoring skill. She exhibited her skill very well in the parents’ meeting. The
parents were very much impressed by her. The inspiration, encouragement and strong support of trainers
and parents enhanced her hope towards a better future. During the period of training she completed +2 in
Arts in Suakathi College through Distance Education.
After completing the training, she went back to her village. After 15 days she was appointed at Dhaitri
chemicals as production in-­‐charge/ trainer. She is giving training to SHG women supported by Bank of India
(BOI). Now she is teaching 8 of her village girls and boys. She was also doing her degree in the above
college. She is giving training on the preparation of home sanitation product such as Phenyl, bleaching, HCL,
Liquid detergent surf, Candle and Essene sticks.
