Madhu Patra is a resilient young woman from Tangra, Kolkata, despite being only 22 years old, her education journey halted at Class 8 due to severe financial constraints. Born into a modest Christian family, Madhu's life story resonates with determination and triumph over adversity.

The pages of Madhu's story are woven with struggles. After losing her father at a tender age, Madhu's mother, Mrs. Shital Patra, shoulders the family's financial responsibilities by working as a domestic help. Their modest rented dwelling in Tangra's bustling localities epitomizes their spirit of resilience.

Madhu's journey was fraught with societal pressures and financial constraints. A determined tomboy and the sole child of her parents, she navigated through immense mental and financial challenges. Hailing from a bustling locality added to her ordeal. Yet Madhu's story is one of unwavering determination and a beacon of hope for others.

Madhu's trajectory transformed when she embarked on the Hospitality Training Course. This course became a stepping stone towards realizing her dreams. The transformative moment arrived with her placement at the prestigious Barbeque Nation Hospitality Ltd., a 4.5-star restaurant, where Madhu took on the role of a range chef. A monthly salary of Rs. 14,000 reshaped her life.

Madhu's metamorphosis is remarkable. The course and subsequent employment turned a once-vagabond into a disciplined, responsible, and focused individual. Her identity underwent a profound transformation, marking the transition from adversity to accomplishment.

The course not only impacted Madhu professionally but also brought financial security. From a part-time earner of Rs. 1500, Madhu's income has soared beyond her dreams. Her mother's discontinuation from household work reflects the newfound stability. Madhu extends her gratitude to ITC and DBTech for reshaping her identity and empowering her to manage her family's financial needs.
