Overcoming Odds: The Empowering Stories of 2 Determined Achievers

The Inspiring Journey of Palak Rajput: From Hardships to Triumph

A never give up attitude, grit and determination define Palak Rajput’s journey. Hailing from Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district, she was raised by her mother who worked as a house help and made only enough to support herself and her two children. Growing up in a troubled family environment, she faced significant hardships due to her father but made sure it never bogged her down.

Despite these hardships, Palak’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. The teenager was determined to turn her life around and completed her higher secondary education along with her brother. Palak was further keen to pursue her higher education but was aware that her family’s financial condition would be an obstacle.

While her mother’s earnings were barely enough to cover their household expenses, Palak’s job search efforts did not yield any positive results as there was a shortage of jobs in her village district. It was during this time when Mr. Satyam Tiwari from Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd visited Palak’s village and introduced them to the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) programme. After gathering relevant information, she decided to pursue a 4-month Helper Electrician course. However, she faced resistance from her mother, who was hesitant to send Palak to Madhya Pradesh’s capital city Bhopal.

However, Palak’s never give up attitude helped her persuade her mother who finally agreed to send her to Bhopal to pursue the Helper Electrician course for 4 months. The training centre at Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd helped Palak gain crucial employable skills as well as develop technical skills. This training helped her land a job at Tata Motors Limited in Ahmedabad with an initial salary of ₹19,774.

Today, alongside a full-time job, she is also pursuing her further studies and manages to send money home so that her mother doesn’t have to continue working as a house help.

Palak says. “Thank you is not just a formality. I’m truly thankful and grateful to my trainers and all the people involved in the DDU-GKY project, as well as Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd.”

A Journey of Resilience: From Kottayam to Dubai

Arunthathi Rajesh, the daughter of a hardworking coolie worker, comes from a modest family in the Panachikkad Gram Panchayat of Kottayam district. Despite the financial hardships that plagued her family, she nurtured big dreams. An average student in her academic pursuits, Arunthathi faced the challenge of continuing her education beyond higher secondary due to limited financial resources.

However, a ray of hope appeared through a casual conversation with friends who introduced her to the DDU-GKY project implemented by Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd at Pantheerankavu, Kerala. Determined to change her fate, Arunthathi decided to enroll in a 5 month web development course offered by Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd., even though she had little prior knowledge in the field.

The initial days were a struggle as the world of coding and web development was alien to her, and she often found herself on the verge of quitting. Yet, she refused to give up. With the unwavering support and guidance of her trainer, Mr. Abhilal, an experienced web developer, Arunthathi began to grasp the intricacies of web development. Through perseverance and sheer determination, she completed the course with flying colours.

Armed with her new skills and a certificate in web development, Arunthathi set her sights on Dubai, a city brimming with opportunities. The journey was not easy; finding a job proved to be a daunting task. The lack of experience was a significant barrier, and rejections became a common occurrence. Yet, Arunthathi’s resolve remained unshaken as she continued her job hunt with unrelenting determination.

Finally, her efforts bore fruit. Arunthathi secured a position as a back-end developer at Web Smart IT Solutions in Dubai with a monthly salary of Rs 70,000. This job marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one that was built on hard work, resilience, and an unyielding spirit.

Arunthathi Rajesh’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. It underscores the belief that no matter how humble one’s beginnings, with hard work and the right guidance, one can achieve extraordinary success. Her journey from a small village in Kottayam to the bustling city of Dubai serves as an inspiration to countless others facing similar challenges. One lesson that Arunthathi reminds herself when things get difficult is to, “Believe in yourself, work hard and never quit.”
