00:00AMBATI MOUNIKA
00:30I am very happy. Basically, I am a mining engineer.
00:35When I was working as shift in-charge in PVK-5 mine,
00:39I felt the rescue was very important.
00:42In an emergency situation, I have to save the entire district below me.
00:46So, I think this rescue will be very useful to me at that time.
00:49In the history of Singareni, mainly boys and men worked in the Bugarpa mines.
00:56Nowadays, girls and boys are also working in the Bugarpa mines.
01:00Apart from that, you are now ready to work in the rescue team.
01:05Where did you take training? How did your training go?
01:08Actually, I took training in Nagpur WCL, Nagpur MRS.
01:12I took training last year in March 2024.
01:16This is initial rescue training.
01:19Initial rescue training should be physically challenging and mentally strong.
01:24In that rescue training, many people get scared even after coming.
01:29They cannot do it physically.
01:32It is very difficult to move forward.
01:36But I never felt it was difficult.
01:39Because if a life is saved because of us, we feel very satisfied.
01:44If someone is in danger, the rescue team is always there to save them.
01:50What is your family background?
01:52What are your educational qualifications?
01:54Where did you take training?
01:56Actually, I am from Kammam.
01:58My father is a private electrician.
02:00His name is Venkata Suryanarayan.
02:02My mother is a housewife.
02:04I studied mining in KSM college in 2020.
02:08After that, I worked in a private company.
02:11It is Hindustan Zinc Ltd.
02:13I took initial rescue training in that private company.
02:16After that, I joined Singareni three months back as an M.G.T.
02:20I got a posting in PVK-5 mine.
02:22After that, I applied for a job as a rescue superintendent.
02:28After that, I got refresher training.
02:31As an active rescue training person, I am now working in PVK-5 mine.
02:34When I took mining engineer position,
02:36everyone told me that mining is not possible for girls.
02:40It is physically challenging.
02:43Everyone demotivated me.
02:46But my family is always supportive.
02:49My father helped me to reach this stage.
02:52Whenever I asked for help,
02:54he told me that he will take care of me.
03:00My agent, mine manager and GM are very supportive.
03:05Whenever I ask for help, they always support me.
03:09Many people helped me to reach this stage.
03:13When we met you,
03:15you said that you will guide 100-150 boys who work under you.
03:20How did you feel when you guided them?
03:24Actually, boys feel ego to work under a girl.
03:31When we are technically knowledgeable,
03:34I will not get scared until I do something wrong.
03:39I will not get scared until I do something wrong.
03:43I will not get scared until I do something wrong.
03:46I am technically strong.
03:48No one can stop me.
03:50I will guide 100-150 boys who work under me.
03:54You have taken special training for rescue operations.
03:58What kind of training do you give?
04:01Rescue training consists of breathing apparatus.
04:07It weighs 16 kgs.
04:10In an emergency situation,
04:14only pure oxygen comes out of the breathing apparatus.
04:21A patient may fall in the underground.
04:28We have to bring the casualty to the surface safely.
04:32We have to provide medical support safely.
04:35We have to carry 16 kgs of breathing apparatus.
04:39We have to provide medical support to the casualty.
04:44We have to bring the casualty to the surface safely.
04:47This training is physically challenging.
04:50We have to train from morning to evening.
04:54We have to run in the morning.
04:56We have to explain the breathing apparatus.
04:59We have to explain the breathing apparatus.
05:02We have to use the breathing apparatus day by day.
05:07You have taken special training for rescue operations.

05:29If I am in an emergency,
05:31I do not know how to handle the situation,
05:34how to take the right decision to save 10 people.
05:39As a rescue trainer,
05:41I know all the procedures.
05:43I know how to handle an emergency.
05:46As a rescue trainer,
05:48I know how to handle an emergency.
05:51Rescue training is important.
05:53As a rescue trainer,
05:55You are now a part of the rescue team and that is a great achievement.
05:58Did you ever feel scared?
06:01I have never felt scared and I will never feel scared in the future.
06:04Even if I feel scared, I will always support them from behind.
06:09I have never had a chance to feel scared.
06:12There are many people who motivate me and there are also people who demotivate me.
06:18But I always tell the people who demotivate me that you can do it.
06:22It is impossible, but I am here to show you that it is possible.
06:26When you were being punished in Nagpur, you said that you even killed a woman.
06:32What happened?
06:33When I was going to Rajasthan from here, there was an incident at the airport.
06:40A patient, a girl, became unconscious.
06:44When she needed CPR, I was able to save her.
06:47Because of that, she became conscious and is alive.
06:51I was very happy.
06:53Because we saved a life, we are very satisfied.
06:57We were able to save a person from behind.
07:03As a mining engineer and as a rescue person, I am very happy.
07:09I saved a life.
07:11In the future, if an emergency situation arises, we are ready.
07:17To work in such rescue operations, you have to be mentally and physically strong.
07:23Are you completely ready to help in such emergencies?
07:30Yes, I am completely ready.
07:32Many female mining engineers have joined us.
07:37Many girls have joined us.
07:40Everyone is very interested.
07:42When I received the papers, many people called me and asked me.
07:47Madam, how can I join the rescue?
07:50I was inspired by you and asked if I could join the rescue.
07:54I asked the superintendent.
07:56He said that he will train everyone.
07:58He said that he will do two batches to the batches.
08:01You are a role model for the girls in the rescue.
08:06Many girls are ready to work in the mines.
08:12What is your advice to the rescue team?
08:17Actually, the girls are advised to be physically and mentally strong.
08:24But I say that it is important to be physically and mentally strong.
08:29I have shared an example with many people.
08:33I want to share it with you.
08:35In my previous rescue team, there was a girl who weighed 43 kgs.
08:40But she will carry 60 kgs of weight.
08:43Many people told her that she was not physically strong and was not eligible for the rescue.
08:49But we always supported her.
08:51Our management also supported her.
08:55She believed that she could not carry 60 kgs.
08:59She is mentally strong.
09:01She did it.
09:02She is the best member of our team.
09:04Thank you, madam.
09:05All the best.
09:06Congratulations.
