PROOF OF THE PUDDING - LATEST SUCCESS STORIES

'The proof of the pudding is in its eating' they always say. After all the effort that goes into picking up a beneficiary, arranging resources for him/her, mentoring and keeping touch, nothing gives us more satisfaction than the sight of the person out with flying colours and becoming independent. In this post we are proud to bring out some of our latest success stories. This year's successes represent beneficiaries from a wide range of careers, courses and geographic locations.

1) Suresh, who is doing his Bachelors in Veterinary Science, has entered his House Surgeonsy period. He is yet to decide on whether to take up private practice or to study further.
But we are very proud of his achievements and are happy for the fact that he can now take care of his 2 brothers and his widowed mother. His father would have been proud of him today.

2) Anandhraj from Mayiladuthurai is just a few weeks away from realising his ambition of becoming a mechanic and supporting his family. We supported him for his ITI training and his hard work has got him a job in a reputed tractor company with a good income.He can now take care of his ill father and his struggling family.

3) Balaji, Loganathan and Ramesh all doing their Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Erode have really repaid the faith we put on them in a big way. Balaji has been placed with Spicers India, but is looking at more lucrative offers in the Gulf on the long run. Loganathan has been placed in Sakthi foundations and Ramesh has got an offer from Sanmar.

4) Anand from Bangalore is another beneficiary we are very proud of. His is a very unconventional story for us. He is a Mridangam Vidwan and we supported him in his efforts to obtain a Diploma Degree in Special Education(visually impaired). His story is a first of many sorts for us.
a) First non-tamil success story(he is from Bangalore and speaks only Kannada)
b) First success story of a physically challenged beneficiary
C) and he is First success story of an individual with such a unique career choice.
We hope that going forward Vidial continues to break such firsts and functions as a pan-lingual, pan-geographic, pan-vocational and comprehensive career solutions NGO.

5) Last but in quite a few ways one of the best is the story of Shyam Sundar who has hit a double whammy with a State 5th rank in Diploma and a placement with HCL in Salem.

We are also looking forward eagerly to the progress of beneficiaries like Jayalakshmi (DTP course), Govindarajan(Catering course) and a few others for whom we have already finished providing the support required.

Congrate! keep up the good work.

Although, I, as an individual many a times do not approve of considering ONLY the "results" as a parameter to measure our "quality" of work.. but sometimes it isnt bad to take a look at the result and feel happy n proud about it. These do motivate us and keep reminding us that we are moving in the right direction.

Vidial, miles to go before U sleep...

Cheers, Raghav.. as always :)
