Padma, one of the students. 40 yrs of age.She finished her school. Married. Husband expired at a very young age. Has no children. Presently staying with her parents. They are old and sick so her brother's family is taking care of her. She has not much education so for her expenses she is working as an agricultural coolie. Her work is seasonal so she is out of work most of the time. Heard about the free training class from previous students, she joined the course. She wants to be independent and earn  her living without being burden to anybody.

Theresamma, also one of the students. 40yrs of age. Married. Husband is a security guard. She has only one son who is in school. She herself is working as a health worker but her job is only once or twice a month. she is associated with a Government organisation. She is payed by hours. Husband is the only earning member in the family and she wants to support him for their better living. She hopes, after finishing the training class she could help herself as well as it would be a help for her son's education.
