Annapurna is HerHealth’s Health and Nutrition Champion! For a person who kept away from vegetables and substituted fruits with junk food, the training proved to be a complete ‘U’ turn in her food and nutrition habits. 

Prior to the training she regularly missed her breakfast and visited the factory dispensary frequently, seeking quick-fix solutions for fatigue and the inability to concentrate at Work. She would rest for a while; take a tablet and some powder glucose to revive her strength and return to work.

Not only did Annapoorna begin to eat breakfast regularly, but she also influenced her peers to adopt healthy eating habits and take care of their well-being. She used the flipbook that was provided during the training to guide her peers on various aspects related to health. A true champ indeed!

Ms. Parveen Akter joined Norp Knit Industries Ltd. Unit-2 in 2010 as a sewing machine operator under the production department. She proved herself to be a diligent and smart worker over the years. She was promoted from operator to senior operator in 2014.

Seeing her potential and in an attempt to bridge the gap that exists in society, where women do not get as many leadership and supervisory roles, she was promoted by the management in 2017 to Supervisor, Production. The Norp knit management decided to include her in factory mid-level management and was promoted to Supervisor in 2017. She has proven to be a good leader and continues to perform her work to the best of her ability.
