In a world upended by the pandemic, Subrata Bera faced an uncertain future as the sole provider for his family. After losing his job in the private sector due to layoffs, he returned to his village, feeling lost and depressed. Seeking a lifeline, he turned to Mukti and applied to the Mukti Employment Exchange. In September 2020, his prayers were answered when he joined Mukti as a data entry operator for the MCDF. From the depths of despair, Subrata’s resilience shone through as he embraced the opportunity to rebuild his life and provide for his loved ones.
