He didn’t have admission in regular schools because of his physical disability, thereby lacking any skill knowledge ahead in his life. Somehow he was able to complete his high school and his search to score a job started. But the real test came now as no company was ready to provide him a job again because of his physical disability but he was not in any way ready to stop looking for a job. He was not able to crack any interview because of lack of employable skills and also because of his physical disability.

Then he got to know about the Empower Pragati’s PMKK Sambhal training through one of his friends. He decided to visit our center so as to get some more information regarding training and employment opportunities after course completion. He after visiting the center and a counseling session with our trainers and counselors took decision to register himself under the Skill India course under ‘courier delivery executive’ job role.

He decided to visit the center and see if he can also get the training which was free of cost and thereby secure a job to support his family and other siblings.

He enrolled himself in F&B Steward course and post completion of the course secured a job for himself. He now is grateful to his trainer Mr. Akhilesh Singh who gave him confidence and made him aware of the opportunities to make a living. He says – “I am now a completely changed person from being hopeless and demotivated to a positive and confident man brave enough to face challenges of life. The training helped me in grooming myself and made me aware of the industrial practices and scenarios through the training & OJTs which helped me in my career. At present, I am working with Swiggy, earning a salary of Rs. 15,000 per month. I am helping my family and I also think this job will help me to pursue my dream of wrestling again too.”
