In a state where women's safety and harassment remain pressing issues, the rise of young women through skill development is both powerful and inspiring.
The Skilled-in-Odisha initiative and the World Skill Center (WSC) in Bhubaneswar are becoming safe, empowering platforms for transformation.
Young women from remote districts of Odisha are rising to global success, fueled by the Skilled-in-Odisha initiative and training at the World Skill Center (WSC) in Bhubaneswar.
"I had never imagined that one day I would work in Dubai. WSC helped me to believe in myself and gave me the skills to succeed," said Anjulata Negi, a determined young woman from Bargarh district who redefined her life through training and resilience.
Anjulata, who lost her father in childhood, took the responsibility of raising her siblings.
