Every Opportunity Counts!

Our is Ngulila C Sangtam. She is from Kohima, Nagaland. When she moved to Government Higher Secondary school in Grade 11 from her old school, she got an opportunity to pursue .

This school provides elective courses in subjects such as electronics, tourism and hospitality. Ngulila was thrilled when she learnt her school offers these "non boring" subjects.

While many of her friends selected tourism and hospitality, she was keen to learn about current flow and electronic connections. Ngulila chose the electronics and hardware course.

She found it fascinating to delve into splicing wires and house earthing. She was excited when her , Temjen Jamir told her students will be doing an internship to gain hands-on job experience. With the support of her trainer, Ngulila began scouting for opportunities but could not locate anything related to electronics in her area.

Disappointed but eager not to give up and determined to complete her internship, Ngulila, took up an internship at a cosmetic shop. She was the only employee other than the owner. Initially she found it boring to work alone in a completely new industry.

However, as her workload increased, she began enjoying it. Soon she developed many skills such as customer relations, billing, managing the inventory and more. Her communication skills developed, and her world opened up.

Ngulila is now in 12th grade. The skills she learnt through her vocational course and internship will help her in her future and enable her to make informed career choices.

" Internship made me a better student and a better person" - Ngulila.

This beautiful quote reminds us that when we have the courage to take flight and pursue our dreams, there's no limit to what we can achieve!


Shama Praveen, our of the week, embodies this spirit of self-belief and determination.

Shama is a regular grade-11 student studying in Delhi, with extraordinary dreams of making a difference in the world. She had always lived a sheltered life, barely stepping out of her house and school. Shama got an opportunity to pursue course in school and she really enjoyed it. It made her more aware of the world outside and helped her to build on her own and .

Shama went ahead to pursue an at The Grocery SuperMart in Dwarka Mor, Delhi. It was her chance to break free from her comfort zone and acquire new skills in the real world. The challenges she faced at the beginning of her internship overwhelmed her. She struggled to keep up with the demands of customers, and her confidence went downhill. For a brief moment, she questioned if she’s actually cut out for this.

But Shama refused to give up hope. She took ownership of her tasks and worked hard to improve her skills. Slowly but surely, she began to see progress. Her hard work paid off when she achieved the sales target set by the management of SuperMart. She proudly calls it her biggest achievement till now.

An internship may seem daunting and at a young age venturing into the real world can be intimidating. However, to soar, there are times when we have to leave our comfort zone. In a world where fear and doubt can easily creep in, Shama’s story is a reminder that with hard work, determination and hope we are all capable of achieving great heights!

Pragati is the youngest child to her parents, and they have always been very supportive of her decisions. This has encouraged her to not only dream but also follow her dreams through.

Pragati was initially reserved and would shy away from interacting with others. While studying, she pursued a in and even did an in it. This experience helped her learn how to interact with customers which boosted her self-esteem.

During the retail course, through Lend-A-Hand India, Pragati learnt about the one-year software engineering residential course at NavGurukul.

Coming from a space where there is little exposure to technology and having never lived away from home, Pragati felt underconfident about getting admission into the program. Her vocational trainer encouraged her a lot and prepared her for the admission process. Seeing her peers learn and aspire just like her, motivated her to work hard and she was able to clear the interview process.

Pragati is in the program and is enjoying being exposed to the world of technology and coding. She has developed her and is able to share her story with .

Pragati never imagined that she would reach here but is grateful for the opportunities and choices she has made. She is the first girl in her family who has stepped out for which makes her parents proud. They along with us wish to see her reach new heights from here on.
