Motor Rewinding Training enabled Balu to become Awardee Balu, a resident of Kavathal, a small village, in Sangrampur Block of Buldana district. His life was going through many crisis, his mother was always sick, he could not continue education after SSC, lost his father 6-7 years ago and health wise he too was weak in the family. Due to this, he could not work hard in farming fields along with his brothers to earn a living and hence, he was unemployed. In 2016, one of the village volunteer referred Balu to attend a workshop of VSP on Motor Rewinding which was supported by Rangoonwala Foundation India Trust. Balu was selected for a 2 months training with 15 other youths of nearby villages. After this training, he started to earn Rs.200-300/- on daily basis by repairing electronic appliances such as Televisions, Fans, Motors etc. after the training. Recently, he has established his own Tin Shed Shop near Pathurda Phata, which is a central location connecting 7-8 small village
