MSA - VTC has trained 366 students and 297 students are placed in the year of 2018-19. The average salary of 6000rs to 6500rs/- month. Many students are earning more than 11000rs /-month. To increase the flow now we have also allowed regular commuting to students who are staying nearby villages so that we can accommodate more students in the hostel who cannot travel every day.

In every batch, we have a wonderful example of women empowerment!!

Here is the story of a girl, who was working in the same premises as a gardener. She always had a dream of becoming a nurse but because of the financial condition of the family, she could not study after 10th and family got her to marry a guy who was drunker. Her husband used to bit her a load and she was a victim of domestic violence. In spite of having a baby and a wife her husband got married to another girl without divorcing from this girl. As she was from a very small village nobody has supported her not even her family members and everybody was accusing her as if she has done something wrong with someone. Her husband didn't stop there, whenever he used to see her in premises he used to bit her publically badly and used to took away a 3-year-old baby from her. She was very tired and attempted suite also that time somebody from MSA staff suggested her to join VTC for a nursing course.

On 7th August 2015, she has joined VTC in batch BSA 20. Because she was clever, self -motivated and enthusiastic to learn she finished her course with good marks. She was very punctual and sincere because of her sincerity & punctuality she got selected here in the same premises for the job.

Now she is financially self-dependent, her daughter is studying in the ashram’s school and she has filed the case against her husband. Hopefully, she will get justice.

From abusing married life now she is an independent and successful single mother
