productive 500 skilled youth for young india

COVID-19 has complete wiped out our lives, more than 3 months of lockdown we were focused to sit at home, no classes, no exams, nothing. Government has advised and encouraged online mode of education, which is very difficult students like us, we don’t have smartphones, if we have smartphones, there requires internet connection with data. While we are seeing vacancies, if there was no lockdown we would have complete the course and maybe we are eligible for advertised vacancies.

With your support we were able to purchase internet data, we were very calculated in data usage, previously we used the data for viewing videos or listening music, now we are using productively for online classes.

In one way the COVID-19 has brought the use of virtual platforms into use which are safer during pandemic situations. The support is valuable for us, normally during pandemic situation donors’ support for supply of provisions and essential food items. We have used your support for online classes.

We expect the same support in future to continue my education which will be more useful to support my family for livelihood.

Education is very important for all the youth. In India basic education till 10th standard education is free for both the genders. The students normally going to school after completion of 10th standard, the poor and below poverty line students are unable to go to high classes, forced to work as unskilled labour due to high financial problems. With the kind support from you the students in need with good percentage marks are able to able to continue their desired education courses.

The attitude of the parents has also changed, they are also encouraging their children to continue their education, supporting them with necessary material support like providing space for them to read with lighting, food and other comports.

The support by you will be useful in paying the tuition fees, purchase of books, required stationery, necessary additional coaching for advance courses. The regular mentoring by the organisation supporting the student and their parents to continue education. As most of the students supported through your support are either single parent or living with grannies and income levels far less than the average income of lower economic family. Less than 1 dollar per day. Most of them are staying in government constructed houses, while some other are staying near canal bunds, where there is no proper structure to live.

With all your support 54 students were benefited. The majority of them are technical education and for few diploma holders. The support from you should continue, as the support has no words to say, which is very much useful for our lives.
