Machindra Saruk
Employer - HDFC Bank |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In the year 2007, Machindra Saruk migrated to Pune for securing a better job and a brighter future. Despite of being a graduate, his first job at Barclays Bank offered him
a monthly remuneration of a meager INR 500. In order to meet his basic needs, he continued to struggle, seeking better job prospects. The best opportunity he found
was in a finance company that offered a salary of INR 6,000 per month on a
contractual basis. But the condition was that the promised salary will be provided
only if he achieves the monthly target. |
|
|
| |
In the face of the financial disability, he got married due to family issues. Now making a living for him and his wife seemed impossible as the source of income was almost negligible. |
|
|
| |
His confidence collapsed as he started believing himself as incapable of getting any decent job. Soon he made his mind to return to his village. “Going back to my homeland was useless as our 14 acre farm couldn’t be cultivated due to unavailability of water. But I had no choice.” says Machindra. |
|
|
| |
Until on his day of departure, his friends suggested him to apply for an admission in Mahindra Pride School. He joined Mahindra Pride School in January 2010 and just after 3 months on 19th March, 2010, he was recruited by HDFC Bank with a salary of INR 13,000 per month. |
|
|
| |
“Mahindra Pride School changed my life! Even the Mid-Day meal was a godsend!” comments the contented Machindra Saruk, who now lives with his head held high. |

Vijay Jadhao
Employer - Syntel |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Vijay Jadhao belonged to a small village named Kalwad, his family comprising of 6 members with his father, a temporarily employed labourer, being the sole earner.
As he was the eldest of all, his responsibilities towards his father and brothers
were inescapable |
|
|
| |
After completing his graduation studies, he too like many a rural youth moved to Pune to fulfil his career ambition. He got a job, but unfortunately got laid off within 2 months in the wake of recession. His dreams, hopes and plans were all shattered. It was then, when his friend asked him to join Mahindra Pride School. |
|
|
| |
After Vijay joined in, even his brother was inspired to pursue a hospitality course in MPS. However they did not have enough money to rent a room and his brother decided to go back to the village. “But MPS stepped in again and solved our problem by providing us a room to live in the school premises.” says Vijay. |
|
|
| |
Vijay further describes his experience saying, “The teaching approach MPS goes beyond books to transform students’ overall personality. In class, I learnt communication skills, basic computer knowledge, mathematical skills, aptitude, and some concepts in business finance i.e accounts, banking and insurance. Even the teachers at MPS go beyond teaching to encourage the students scale greater heights.” |
|
|
| |
Today, Vijay has secured a reputable job in Syntel and currently earning a monthly salary INR 13,000. |
