His mother’s, Salamma, is a House wife while both his sisters are married at a very young age and his younger brother is pursuing his intermediate class from the nearby Government College. Being the eldest son in the family, it is an obligation for Rajesh to take up the household responsibility but knowing that he had backlogs he could not get his degree in hand. In this situation, Rajesh had to wait for another one year to clear his exams which practically did not work out as per the conditions of his family. After knowing the past of the Rajesh, Vasanth Raj – Trainer – Don Bosco Tech, insisted his parent to let Rajesh enroll and join Don Bosco Tech to skill training programme that will help to build his future.

Now I am in a position to look after not only my parent but also of my brothers. This is due to the endless support of Don Bosco Tech and my trainers.
