The metro train which departed on its pilot run on the phase 2 of Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar metro route, inaugurated on September 16 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was operated by Kashti Chaudhary, a representative of the Adivasi community.
During the flag-off ceremony in Ahmedabad, Chaudhary was at the helm of operations, highlighting the able representation and capability of Adivasi women.
Kashthi’s father, Navin, is a retired engineer, while her mother, Nalini, is a school teacher.
Chaudhary has been serving as an operator for the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) Ltd for the past two years.
Chaudhary resides in Vyara’s Shivshakti Society, located in Tapi district. Her father recently retired from his position as deputy engineer at the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNNL) in Kevadia, while her mother continues to teach at a school in their town.
Chaudhary possesses an educational foundation of a diploma in Electrical Engineering at Government Polytechnic in Rajkot, followed by completing her degree course with distinction from Babaria Institute of Technology (BITS) in Vadodara (now called KPGU).
The inauguration took place when Modi flagged off the service, and also took a ride, accompanied by several commuters.
