Our Success Stories
“We received handholding support from MSSRF and WDTDAC at a critical juncture in our lives. I was selected by several government departments and chose to join the Food Corporation of India because it is a central government job. This kind of support is essential for our younger generation. it helps us escape the traps of addiction and enhances our dignity. For those who didn’t get jobs initially, we started supporting them to continue training. This moral support and peer solidarity helped us build resilience. I am committed to contributing my skills and resources if such initiatives continue.”
“This proud moment and the drastic improvement in my and my family’s life are the results of the support extended by WDTDAC and MSSRF. The training was holistic and sensitive to our socio-economic background. Unlike other programmes, we received travel support, food, and other basic expenses. Often, we are unable to continue training due to lack of income. As a girl from an Adivasi community, I strongly urge that such interventions continue to provide a platform for our youth to mutually support and to improve our quality of life.”
“I felt immense happiness upon receiving the recognition. As a differently-abled woman from the Kurichiya community, people began to acknowledge my work, which greatly improved my dignity and self-esteem.”
“More than the award itself, the video documentation prepared as part of the process went viral. Until then, farming was seen as a low-status job. Now, people recognize me, approach me, and talk to me. I’ve received more seed orders, expanded my network, and gained additional income. People now call me a consultant to help design farm plans for wildlife conflict-prone areas.”
