Experts from the field
Sandeep Chaurasiya was only able to study till the 12th standard, as he had to assist his family to manage expenses. As he comes from a family of moderate income, his father worked as construction labour. Sandeep was keen on doing something more than construction, so he chose to assist in shuttering. He learnt how to do that and specialises in shuttering now.*
