Thulasamma is 22 years old, has completed her PUC and is living with her family consisting of 11 members in Gondabala village. She belongs to the Shri Kalikadevi SHG. When the IGP members from Sampark informed the group about the skill training courses, Thulasamma applied and joined the computer course.

She said, "Though I started the course, in the beginning I was scared to touch the mouse of the computer. Slowly, due to the support of the teacher I developed confidence. I liked it the course and I successfully completed it".

Thulasamma feels that she got the opportunity to do this course only due to Sampark, which helped in forming the SHGs. After completing the six months training, Thulasamma joined the institution as a data entry person. Her starting salary is about 1200/- a month, and after completing the six months works period, she expects to get about Rs.2500/- as monthly salary.

She is thankful to Sampark for helping her to elevate her living condition from that of a daily wage labourer to that of a woman working in an office. more similar stories.
