Radhika hails from a poor agriculture family from a village near Warangal. Understanding her family's financial condition, Radhika stopped studying and started doing odd jobs before her marriage itself to support the family. She had felt the necessity of learning driving in her past when she faced difficulty in joining her father in a hospital due to his ill health, which left her with a stronger desire to learn the skill.

After getting married she continued as a housewife for some time but seeing her husband's hardships to manage the family with single source of income, she often thought of taking up a job and supporting her husband. She expressed her interest towards driving and her husband also supported her. While she was looking for an opportunity to learn it, she came to know about GMR Varalakshmi Center for Empowerment and Livelihoods at Shamshabad and learnt about the excavator operator course being offered at the center.

Radhika was initially hesitant to join this training but GMRVF counseled and motivated her to take admission in the course. Her husband also encouraged her for the same. Radhika enrolled in the course and learnt the operation of this heavy machine diligently from the expert trainer. After joining the training, she showed extreme determination and grit to continue the same. Radhika also received inputs related to safety measures, soft skills etc. during the training.

After successful completion of the course, GMRVF facilitated a job opportunity within GMR Group for her. Now, Radhika is a proud employee and a proud mother too, sharing her own story of strength with her children and inspiring them to always follow their heart and stay determined in the pursuit of their dreams.
