Indira Patra from Puri has spent 36 years perfecting the art of soft toy making, providing stable livelihoods to nearly 40 young women at her training center. While modern machinery initially boosted their production, frequent power cuts and costs remained a constant hurdle. Today, a brilliant shift toward solar adoption has transformed their workshop. By running their sewing machines on clean energy, they have eliminated downtime and reduced electricity costs. This green initiative is fostering financial independence and community growth for local families while actively driving a sustainable future for Odisha growth.
