Shilvia is the elder daughter in a family of five, residing in Thoubal district in Manipur. Her father was working as an assistant in a shop and was struggling to meet the needs of the family with his meagre income.

Shilvia always wanted to support her father in taking care of her family by studying well and getting a good job. But due to the recent incidents of violence in Manipur, everything came to a halt for Shilvia and her family. Her father's shop was shut and their only source of income was disrupted.

At this juncture, she came to know about GMRVF's vocational training center at Delhi through Likmabam Devi Foundation, an organization working for providing relief to the victims of the Manipur tragedy. She immediately enrolled for the Front Office Associate course at the center. During the training, she lived in the hostel at the Center and regularly attended the classes. She thoroughly learnt all the modules taught during the course and also received inputs related to Basic English and Basic Computers which increased her confidence levels.

After the training, Foundation arranged interviews for her batch and Shilvia got selected as an Associate Atithya in Encalm Hospitality, T-2, Airport. Now, she is leading a happy life and feels proud that she is able to support the family in their most difficult times.
