Women blaze new trail in rendering sanitation services in Tiruchi
The Hindu
These professionals are making inroads into a male-dominated field
A day at work is no ordinary achievement for K. Aravalli, 45, who is one of five women professionals paving a way through the male-dominated field of sanitation service providers in Tiruchi. Her company Sri Sai Enterprises, based out of Ponmalai, has been undertaking deep cleaning operations of drains and toilets in residential and industrial premises since 2012. “I was inspired by my elder brother, who runs a septic tank cleaning company in Pudukottai; but when I decided to replicate the same business idea in Tiruchi, I didn’t get much encouragement,” Ms. Aravalli told The Hindu. “Some of my own relatives doubted my ability and the propriety of my choice of occupation.”More Related News
