Payalben lost her father at a young age — but she refused to let hardship define her. Determined to support her family, she trained as a solar PV technician and became the go-to expert in her village. Once doubted because of her gender, Payalben now fixes solar pumps, rooftops, and entire solar parks — keeping her community running and lighting up lives in the Rann. Her journey reflects India’s new workforce — young women breaking barriers, driving clean energy, and creating lasting change.
