Ms. Kaveri from Killai panchayat came to know that there is a vacancy in the forest office for the position of gardener. As she was an illiterate, they refused to consider her for the position of gardener informing that they expect a person with the minimum qualification of reading and writing in Tamil. Ms. Kaveri immediately remembered the TCS-ALP Programme that was being run at the Killi VKC, Chidambaram, implemented by MSSRF. She visited the Killai VKC and enrolled herself in the programme. Soon Kaveri was able to read and write and even sign her name in Tamil. Then she once again approached the Forest Office, where she was offered the job that she had been previously denied.
