NEW DELHI: Twenty-eight-year-old Anisha, now a mother of four, was married off at the tender age of nine. Born and brought up in Bihar, she landed in Delhi with her husband, who paints for a living. From her ordinary existence as a housewife in Nizamuddin basti, she has emerged as a respected earning member of the family who brings home up to Rs 5,000-8,000 every month. For this, Anisha put in almost three years to train herself in traditional sanjhi cutting and jaali pattern work.
“I started undergoing training for sanjhi cutting and the response has been tremendous. Not only am I able to financially help my family, but the project has given me a great exposure,” said Anisha, who has never worked before. She said her family has provided all the support she needed. “I work part time from home and now, I am working on my communication skills too,” she said.
