V.Vijaya lakhmi
Age : 25 years
 After
gaining seven years of experience in bags stitching, I took
training at SRT Rural Institute in January 2002 under a scheme of
Andhra Pradesh Rural Livelihoods Project. From the time I joined
the course I started taking interest in designing bags, which are
not only stylish but also cater to a cross section of women.
In order to cater to
the variegated needs of the people, I have come up with different
styles for different age groupsthe variety has provided me with
ready market. Today I have five varieties of handbags, five of
shopping bags, five of travel bags, three each of school/college
bags, hand purses and two of kitty purse with felt or quilt. The
fledging market provided me with an opportunity to market not only
in Miryalguda, Suryapet, Kodad, Narketpally towns of Nalgonda
Distirct but also provided market avenues throughout the country
namely Delhi, Mumbai, Culcutta, Ahmedabad, Sholapur, Pune Chennai,
Vizag, Coimbatore and Erode. Thanks to the growing market, I have
a monthly turnover of Rs.3, 00,000 and I produce as much as 100
bags everyday and over 100 workers from the same village work for
me today. I owe this to my training at SRT Rural Institute, which
enabled me to take up the task with confidence. Recently, I have
appointed two supervisors, who have also been trained by SRT Rural
Institute with Rs.4000 monthly salary, I want to see this grow so
that I turn it around and capture market for the bags. Therefore,
I am now concentrating on the design and production of more bags
to cater to the market needs.

Age: 20years plus
 After
passing my 10th grade examination, in the year 2000, I joined the
course of " electrician" training at SRT Rural
Institute. As soon as I finished my 10th class I had a feeling
that I am wasting my time and I realized that I should make some
productive use of time, the best route I thought was to take up
some skill-based training. That's how I got in touch with SRT
Institute and joined the course of electrician-the training
provided by SRT gave a real fillip to my confidence. I liked the
training and learned a lot from my stint at SRT.Immediately, after
I finished my training I established a service center and took up
sales and service of fans, grinders and motor winding. On one
occasion I have had the opportunity to visit Balanagar, the
industrial belt skirting Hyderabad city, where I studied how to
handle sale of fans on a commercial basis. This visit helped me to
understand the size of the market and explore newer areas of sales
and service. With the training at SRT, I got the confidence and
thought I should be on my own. From the word go-there was no
looking back. Today, I have a simple strategy of assembling fans
on a monthly installment basis. This really caught up the
imagination of the rural people, who are buying fans from me.
Thanks to their support, I am doing very well in business to lead
a cozy and a decent life.

Age: 20 years
10th class
 I
have joined the course of electrician at SRT Rural Institute and
have gained immensely from the course; I was part of my brother's
electrical workshop, which gave me the initial exposure to the
business of electrical appliances.
I was greatly
impressed by the scientific teaching methods and the practical
aspects, which was documented so well that it taught us and
motivated us to be on our own.
I am right now eking a decent livelihood through fans assembling,
motor winding and grinders assembling and earn Rs.5000 every
month.
Illaiah
S/o Narshimha
Age: 20years plus
 I
got trained in the 2nd batch of Radio, TV and Home Appliances
repair. After getting my basic skills right I have also attended a
skill-up gradation program jointly conducted by CAPART and SRT
Rural Institute. After undergoing advance-training programme at
the Institute, I garnered enough confidence. In fact, I wanted to
establish my own service center, but had no money to start.
Therefore, initially I
took up a job and got some hands-on experience. The urge to be on
my own coupled with the confidence that I gained out of SRT
Institute training made my dream possible. The confidence that I
gained triggered the ambition of owning a repair center for TV and
electronic goods. After dabbling with repair, today I am also
assembling Television sets for the local market with two persons
working for me full-time and two learners attached to me as
apprentice. I am able to manage my business with by giving rents
and electricity bills and above all eking a decent livelihood and
yes, all this I attribute to the successful training at SRT.

 We
got trained at SRT Rural Institute on " machine embroidery
and hand embroidery" and we were very happy as we got both
theoretical and practical inputs along with course material.
The training component
was very good, both of us had just basic qualification and yet we
could understand the complexities of embroidery with ease.
Pochampally-the place where we live is known for saree production,
thanks to the growing market, embroidery on sarees is much sought
after by the people. We have innovated on some of the designs and
with the market in place we are able to beautifully sustain the
life. Today, we have our hands full and are busy with embroidery
on sarees.
