Suresh Kumar worked as a daily wage labourer in construction sites, earning ₹6,000 per month. The work was inconsistent, dangerous, and had no future. He had a family of four to support.
He joined GSL Foundation's Solar PV Installer program in Jaipur. The course covered panel installation, inverter systems, site assessment, and safety protocols. Suresh was a quick learner — his practical skills made him stand out.
After certification, he was hired by Tata Power Solar. Within a year, his performance earned him a promotion to Installation Lead, managing a team of 5. His income quadrupled.
