Shivani Sahu from Khajari village is a hardworking girl who decided to buck the trend and join the male-dominated electrical course.  After training, she was placed in Snyder Company, Hyderabad, where her salary was ₹ 11,000. However, due to poor health, she left the job and came back to Chhindwara – securing another job at Wire Harness Company Pithampur where her salary was ₹ 10000.  Her father used to run a small shop and one day she got the idea to convert that shop into an electrician's shop and start her own small business. She contacted Snyder's company and started selling goods, after which her shop started earning 12 to 15,000 a month. She has been a role model to other girls who wanted to make their career in this field, like Shivani Sahu, Babita Pathye, and Sonam Sahu who are also electrician graduates and are working with the Kirloskar brothers, and Dewas Company.
