“I am expected to be in a burkha,” says Subhanben — a reminder of the roles often imposed on women. But she chose to take charge of her life and make decisions on her own terms. When she was given the responsibility to work with salt farmers, she witnessed a recurring struggle: uncertain and unreliable electricity. Seeing both a problem and a possibility, Subhanben identified an opportunity to upskill young women as solar technicians. By installing solar panels, they could secure a steady power supply while creating livelihoods for women. From a day of rebellion to becoming a leader driving change, Subhanben cherishes every step of this journey — a true Social Saheli story meant to inspire us all.
