After graduation, I didn’t have money to collect my certificates from college that’s when I left the dream of pursuing further studies, and I worked at a cafe to collect my certificates. Through that situation, I realized that I have to continue the work in the café, and also, I worked in Radiant appliances & electronics for 1 year and left the job as there was no career growth. Fortunately, I have improved my IT and communication skills with the support of ADP-Nirmaan Ameerpet. I’m always grateful to Nirmaan& entire team -Dudekula Mainouddin(Aspirant)

Bornali Dolui is a tailoring beneficiary of HSBC’s Women Empowerment, Skilling, and Livelihood Support Center at Fateh Nagar. Her husband works at a fan manufacturing company. She is blessed with a child who is currently studying in NSKK School at Balanagar. COVID-19 brought a lot of financial hardship to her family. During the lockdown her husband lost his job causing great financial distress. Under these circumstances, Bornali learned about HSBC Technology's support for women empowerment projects at Fateh Nagar. She immediately approached Nirmaan team who told her to enrol for a tailoring skill online course. Her family was struggling financially to meet daily needs during lockdown, but the additional burden of attending online classes proved too much for Bornali as it would require her to recharge her mobile data for attending online classes. Her strong resolve to support her family and get herself skilled did not bother Bornali. Unable to mobilise money for recharging her mobile data, she pledged her gold jewellery at a local pawn shop and completed her training. Post completion of the tailoring course, she got a job opportunity at Ruchi Exports, a garment manufacturing company at Sanath Nagar. She started with an initial monthly salary of 3000/- per month. Currently, she is earning 7000/- per month. With her additional income, she is now able to send her son to tuition and is able to provide quality education to her child. Her family’s financial situation is stable as her husband started work post-lockdown. She is very thankful to HSBC Technology and Nirmaan organisation for empowering her with skills and providing a peripheral livelihood source for her family.

Sneha is one of our beneficiaries at the Vocational training center, Borabanda. Being an orphan, she underwent many struggles to complete her intermediate (12th). Similar to many girls from rural backgrounds, she got married at a young age but unfortunately, she lost her husband. By that time, she had a one-year-old child. Without proper educational qualifications and the struggle a single mother faces in society, it was challenging for her to get a job. While pursuing her degree, she had come across NIRMAAN’s Vocational training program and immediately enrolled to learn essential M.S Office, Google tools, and other corporate communications tools. After completing NIRMAAN’s training course, she got placed in D-Mart as an MIS Assistant with a salary of rupees 2,00,000/- per annum. With this consistent monthly income, she is able to take care of her day-to-day responsibilities as a single mother. She sincerely expresses her gratitude to ADP and NIRMAN Organisation for giving her this opportunity which made her self-reliant women.

Under the project ‘Ignited Minds’ the children from the Women Development and Child Welfare department visited the Infosys campus at Gachibowli on 16th of August. We would like to thank Mr. Raghu Boddupally for giving us the opportunity and Mr. Vamsi for organizing the whole event by partnering with Nirmaan. The leadership team interacted with the children and gave them information on education and how to achieve their goals. They encouraged them to be proactive, to be bold and to support the right thing. They asked the students to make best use of any opportunity given to them, to set goals and dream big. Ms. Preethi from the Infosys leadership team asked the students, ‘What is it that you do to reach your goal every day?’. The students answered, saying, ‘We learn technical skills and communication skills.’ To this Ms. Preethi and Ms. Shamili added, ‘Please read the English newspaper daily and record it or read it loudly and see the change after 30 days. You will gradually see a change in the level of confidence in you. It would have increased.’ The student’s inquisitiveness led them to ask this question ‘What did you do to reach this leadership role?’. To this the leadership team answered, ‘Please study and keep working towards your goal. Practice and prioritise what you want, it is important to set your priorities right. Work hard and never give up. There is no quantification for hard work. Love what you want and have the willingness to learn.’ Mrs. Vimlesh from the leadership team mentioned that ‘Taking care of mental health is also very important. Do not get carried away by anything else. Stay in touch with each other and change for the good, help others.’ In her address to the students Mrs. Jagadamba, quips ‘Keep yourself updated. Technology keeps changing so always learn and try to be innovative. Please don’t just follow your textbooks. You need to understand the concepts. ‘A student asked Mrs. Preethi, ‘Who is your role model?’ and her response will change your perspective. She said, ‘I have realistic models. They keep changing based on the situation for more achievable goals.’ To conclude the session Mr. Raghu encouraged the students to be true to themselves and hardworking. In his words, You are an inspiration to all. If you do the right thing people will follow you.’ Lastly, we would like to thank the leadership team at Infosys for their time and precious words of advice. For inspiring the children and igniting their minds to dream big!
