Poonam Kumari from Jharkhand said the job followed an Industrial Training Institute ITI course. Kumari added that CG Semi later sent Kumari to Malaysia for training. Modi noted that some villagers may have doubted the ITI route earlier. Kumari said people first believed studying away from home would not help.

Kumari said opinions in the village changed once the semiconductor work began. \"But their perception changed after I started working at the semiconductor facility,\" Kumari said proudly. Another employee explained that Malaysia training felt manageable with support. Senior trainers used Hindi and practical demonstrations when lessons became hard.

Priyanka Dhanwar from Jharkhand said the role brought a first overseas trip. Dhanwar added that this progress made parents feel proud. Modi also spoke with Kaushal Kumar from Jammu and Kashmir. The Prime Minister also interacted with Satyam Sinha from Bihar during the exchange.
