Experts from the field
Mr. Atul Mehto is a farmer and wanted a new source of income. He took a loan from a microfinance company and purchased two JCB boring machines in order to get additional work. He then selected four people to work with him whom he trained for the boring job. He says- "There is always a dearth of trained staff who can operate the boring machines. Though these four youths started work as freshers but now with two years experience they earn INR 15,000 per month each. This business is doing well." *
