Impact Story
Life has been a roller coaster ride for Digbijoy Adak aged 26 who belongs to a rural poverty stricken family in Bhagwanpur village of Purba Medinipur district. Living with dwarfism with a height of 3 feet, Digbijoy faced many different challenges coming up every single day. He completed his higher secondary education struggling against all odds. He was badly bullied and humiliated by others due to his restricted growth disorder. The situation worsened after the death of his parents and even his elder brother abandoned him owing to his physical appearance pushing him deeper into isolation. He was left to fend for himself. But Digbijoy have never been demotivated and did not give up his journey. He started to work in a local sweet shop, cleaning dishes to earn his living. But opportunities always find those who want to do something in their lives. During a door to door mobilization drive conducted by Anudip, Digbijoy came across the Specially-Abled Vocational Education (SAVE) program and its benefits. He immediately enrolled in the training program with high hopes in the month of November 2017 at Anudip Heria centre and began to attend the lectures regularly.
With his strong will-power and determination, Digbijoy successfully completed the training in certificate in office automation and digital education in the month of December 2017 with the constant guidance and motivation from Anudip trainers. Soon enough he was equipped with a better personality, good communication skills and technical knowledge. Through DISHA– a multi company recruitment drive hosted by Anudip, Digbijoy was hired by Vindhya E-Infomedia Private Limited a reputed BPO based in Bangalore. He has joined at Bangalore branch as customer support executive and he now earns rupees 11,000 per month. He is also keen on completing his graduation through open learning.
