It is one of the Himayat center; Himayat is a placement linked skill development initiative for training and placement of J&K youth. The project envisions support for the youth of J&K by providing them vocational training linked to placement in various sectors like ITeS, Customer Service, Sales and Hospitality etc.

Imran has successfully completed his training in the Hospitality Domain. Initially, while taking admission to the course he was bit hesitant to choose the domain and even faced some difficulties during the training, but gradually realizing the usefulness of the training, he started appreciating his decision to take up this training. He used to perform activities with lot of interest and enthusiasm. The attitude of Imran throughout the training programme was really positive and his parents were also convinced about Imran taking training in the Hospitality domain.  Soon after 3 months of training, he got the chance for placement, and quite unexpectedly he got placement in the Hotel, Paradise Inn located in Pahalgam, J&K at a monthly remuneration of Rs. 4000. He was exceedingly happy to get placed in such a hotel and thanked the complete staff of DB Tech with a sense of satisfaction.

While speaking about his son, Imran’s Father, Mr. Ab Ahad Lone said, “I am extremely happy to listen to the news of the placement of my son in such a renowned hotel. I feel proud to be his Father.”  After having achieved his dreams, Imran expressed, “I belong to a very poor family, I had never thought that I would be here someday. This is like a golden opportunity for me. A heartfelt thank to all the contributors who has made my life meaningful.
