Dear Team UNNATI &Well Wishers
We are sure all of you had a good time celebrating the Makara Sankranthi.
At UNNATI we have the good news of getting placements for all the 25 students of the Fourth Batch-Eighteen from Retail Sales and Seven from Tailoring.
We got all placements in record time i.e. within ten weeks of starting the course.
More than that is the fact that our students got a variety of placements such as medical representatives, factory supervisor, Telemarketing wing of Stanchart Bank, Fabmall Retail Chain and the Foodworld Retail Chain with fairly good salaries to start with. The Tailoring group also got jobs in reputed organizations such as Arvind Mills, Gokaldas Group etc.
For all this the credit goes to the dedicated Team of Faculty who trained these students all the ten weeks. We are grateful to each one of them.
We are also grateful to M/S Levis for their Corporate Community Service Grant faculty support, supply of consumables etc. M/S Gokaldas Images have been helping us from the beginning by supplying the tailoring machines and the consumables for the training: we are indeed indebted to them for their response to the cause. We also thank all our donors and well-wishers and also those who have been counseling us in our activities.
Thus we have made a difference in the lives of as many as 105 downtrodden families in the society in the four batches conducted for the past 15 months from Oct 2003 with the multiplier effect that has created in their respective neighbourhood.
Now we are preparing ourselves for the fifth batch, which we intend starting from 1st March 2005.
We require your help in the following:
v Identifying and recommending deserving poor candidates, age18 to 21 and SSLC Passed/Failed. Tailoring only ladies and for Retail Sales both gents and ladies.
v Try and help us in continuing the noble cause by donating for UNNATI, which gives 100% Tax exemption under Sec 35 AC/Sec 80 GGA of I.T Act. This will also serve as a part of your Tax planning for this financial year.
v Persuade your friends/relatives/acquaintances to help us financially by donating a part of their funds set apart for helping good causes; if they are able to contribute their time they may be advised to contact us.
