Five Building Electrician Women

In January 2020, an event of building electrician training (level -1 of 390 hours) with 20 participants was organized in Lahan under SAMRIDDHI Project in collaboration with a training and employment service provider called Creative Skills Private Limited.  Among all 20 participants of the training, six participants were women, and five women successfully completed the training. When we reached the premises of a newly built polytechnical college, located at Lahan to meet the five women graduates, the view of them working as electricians grabbed our attention. They were working under the contract of Ram Udgar Thakur who was their instructor during the training period. All of the five building electrician women namely, Asha Chaudhary, Raina Chaudhary, Dipmala Chaudhary, Kamali Chaudhary and Nirmala Chaudhary belong to Tharu, an indigenous community of terai.
