Planning Basic Computer Education in Solapur(my hometown) - Part 3

Further updates :-)

I was in Solapur on 5th/6th May 2012 and this time also I have good news. Now total student strength is 63 :-). Unbelivable response it is. Out of 63 students, 34 are girl students and 29 boy students.

I have observed that everyone seen so excited to learn basics about computer and one reason behind may be is that we start training with Games :-). Overall, I am very happy with the progress of this project. I again thanks to everyone who is helping me to make it success.

What next - I requested my friend(Ganesh Channa) to draft a note in Marathi language which would focus on following points
1. Importance of Education
2. Equal treatment to girls
3. Take benefit of scholorship
4. Parents should daily talk with their child about school/study and should encourge them to study more...
5. Parents should not force girls to get marry very early (before completion of education)

I will then give this note to every student and will request them to read it before their parents and I am planning to meet parents as well on 26/27th May 2012.

I will keep posting regarding this project.

Good news...

As I mentioned in my previous blog, we started basic computer education well before schedule :-).

Eshwar and Umarishi helped to collect needy students for this project and we were successful to get around 42+ students, whom financial condition is not good but willing to learn basics about computer and have strong will to continue their education.

We got four good tutors from same area and they successfully completed Day-1(Monday, 30th April 2012). I really appreciate following tutors for spending time for this valuable project

1. Nagveni
2. Vaishnavi Tai
3. Bunty

We are conducting daily 7 batches and each batch include 4 students and each batch is conducted for 1 hour for next 1 month.

Hoping for best for these needy students and under this project they might get help for their future career.

Let us see how it goes...

Till now I worked as

I was thinking whether to post or not these details but ultimately decided to post on this blog only.

1. Worked as Compounder with RMP doctor : This was my first job during school time when I was studying in 8th Class. Doctor's qualification is RMP (i don't know yet what that mean but he could not complete his metric also). I used to get Rs.5 (yes just five rupees) a week. I used go to Clinic in morning for two hours and in evening (after returning from school) around 3 hours.

Interesting part of this job was to call doctor personally from his another clinic whenever patient would visit clinic where i used to work. I almost worked for 3 to 4 years there.

2. Worked as Typewriter : After completion of 10th, I and my mentor/friend/cousine, Prakash Vanga, joined TypeWriting class. We completed 30 wpm and 40 wpm exam too. After that we joined English Speaking class and there my teacher helped to get this typewriter job. This was with HOD of one of Engineering college. My job is to type the page as per details given in handwriting format or from books etc. Office was in Datta Temple, Navi Peth, Solapur. I used to Rs.1 per page. Initially i was very happy because i used get many pages per day it means more income but on an average i was getting very less amount at the end of month. I worked here during my 11th and 12th standard of college.

3. Worked as Clerk : Prakash helped me a lot during my graduation. We (I and Prakash) belogns to very poor family. Condition was such that, if we could not earn money then we had to leave school or college. Prakash helped me to get this job with Shitre Brothers. Here I used to work part-time only. I used to go tution and then i used to go Shitre Office. There I started working with one of Shitre Brother's i.e. ShriKrishna Shitre(Nana)...I used to get Rs.700 per month then. I took gap for B.Com I year and re-joined during B.Com II and B.Com III. Shitre Brothers helped a lot to me during these years. Without their i could not complete my graduation.

I do want to "BIG BIG BIG THANKS" to Santosh malak (Vishwambar Shitre) for giving me first year Fee for my post graduation (MCA). I just cannot forget their help...Without this help maybe i could not write this blog also...All MCA completion and getting job in IT industry credit goes to Santosh Malak and Prakash Vanga. He is so kind person that he helped me financially and undtersood well my college timings also and allowed to work as much only possible.

4. Worked as Programmer: During MCA, I had to leave Shitre Brother office due to college timing and again caught in financial problem. My graduation friend, Dinesh Annaldas, helped me to get job at Regency Exports Pvt. Ltd. Here my job was to program for their export agency. I was getting salary Rs. 1000 p.m.. I thank to Sundaram Sir and Dinesh too, for helping during my post graduation.

5. Worked in IT industry : After completion of MCA, i moved to Pune for last year project and started career in Pune only. Till now i worked with

1. Dukestar Technologies
2. Codexhibit Software Pvt. Ltd.
3. TrueAdvantage Software Pvt. Ltd.
4. Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd.
5. Infosys (currently working)

I had to work hard to get my education due to financial probem. Once I joined DukeStart, then no looking back...no finanical problem :-)...I help my sister children and brother children for their education because I know very well importance of education.

I have too many things in my mind. I definitly want to help poor childeren in my area(Solapur) to get their basica education.

Let us see how life moves on...
