Female employees told their story
According to Gujarat CMO, machine operator Poonam Kumari is a resident of Giridih district of Jharkhand. Her father is no longer in this world and she lives with her mother. Describing her journey, she said, “I had never gone out of Jharkhand before. When we were sent to Malaysia for training, everything was new to us. Whenever we found it difficult to understand something, the trainers used to explain to us in Hindi and also showed us through practicals. This made it very easy to learn.”
Priyanka Dhanwar, a machine operator from West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, said that her parents are feeling very proud of her success. She is the first member of her family to go abroad. According to the press release, Shivani from Madhya Pradesh said, “When our parents saw our success, they had tears of joy in their eyes. We are going to create history together with CG Semi.”
PM Modi praised the ‘extraordinary’ work
On Saturday, highlighting the vital contribution of women in the country’s semiconductor mission, the Prime Minister said, “The sisters and daughters working here have come from tribal areas of states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. When these young girls took me around the factory, they explained each stage of the manufacturing process with great confidence, enthusiasm and technical knowledge. These daughters, who come from ordinary families, have studied in ordinary schools and have studied from ITIs, are doing extraordinary work today.”
The Prime Minister further stressed, “There was a time when parents would hesitate in saying that their children have studied in ITI. But that time has now passed. These young girls may have studied in ITI, but their aspirations are extraordinary. Many of them come from families where no one had ever even applied for or even seen a passport. Leave alone traveling abroad, many had never even been to Delhi or Mumbai. But today, these same daughters are pursuing advanced training. She has gone to Malaysia for research, has mastered cutting-edge semiconductor technology, and is now playing a key role in manufacturing ‘Made in India’ semiconductor chips.”
