T. Latha, Hindupur, Andhra Pradesh
“We are a family of four members, husband,
myself and two children. My husband is working
as a TV Dish connecting person. Prior to Mag gam
and Jardosi training we were facing hardships for
family maintenance and were unable to provide
quality education for our children.
With the help of BIRED in association with Sri
Sathya Sai Seva Organisation,
Hindupur, we got
trained in Maggam and Jardosi works for 45 days. This training helped us a lot and I am able to earn around ₹7,000-8,000 per month. With this I
was able to manage my family expenditure and now we are able to give quality education
to our children by joining them in good schools. With this we were respected among our relatives
and able to lead dignified lives in society. Now I am also training my neighbours on this
Maggam and Jardosi work and helping them. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to BIRED and
Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, Hindupur, Andhra Pradesh. I am very happy to say that my
children are now attending Bal Vikas classes too.”
Vimalkumar, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu
Vimalkumar, a youth from Seliyur in Kanchipuram District,
Tamil Nadu, studied Class XI and could not continue his education
due to family circumstances. He had to take up a job
to help his father (who is a driver) and was searching for one.
Fortunately, he came across a SSSSO Member who heard his
story, suggested that he join SSS RVTC at Nanmangalam and
get trained in Plumbing, Electrical and Two-wheeler Servicing.
The SSSSO Member also said that the course was being
offered free and was an integrated one. He could choose
the work in any of the trades, the spectrum of opportunities
was wide.
The member also brought Vimalkumar to the RVTC Nanmangalam. The boy was intelligent
and diligent. He learnt the skills well. He showed extra interest in Two Wheeler servicing and
worked on Sundays too. After completion of training, he was offered employment in a
Two-wheeler Service station with a salary of ₹
6,000 and, within a year, seeing his hard work and
skill it was increased to ₹
12,000 per month. He earned a good name too, and helped new
students of RVTC in the practical techniques of servicing. He expressed his wish to start his own
service centre within a year or two.
