Pavithra's journey is one of resilience and determination. Growing up with a father who worked tirelessly as a mechanic, earning just Rs.18,000/- a month, and a mother who managed the household with what little they had, life was a constant balancing act. Every rupee was accounted for, and their modest income only allowed for a hand-to-mouth existence. Despite these challenges, Pavithra never let go of her dreams. Her passion for accounting led her to pursue a B.Com. in Accounting and Finance from a regular college in Chennai. But she knew that to truly excel, she needed to go beyond her degree. When she learned about a Tally course, she seized the opportunity to enhance her skills. During her second year of college, Pavithra's path took an unexpected turn for the better. Her seniors and friends introduced her to ANEW, an organization offering skill-building courses free of cost. Eager to expand her horizons, she enrolled in ANEW’s Basic IT course during her final year. Reflecting on her decision, Pavithra beams with pride. "Joining ANEW was one of the best decisions I ever made," she shares. "I wouldn’t have wanted to miss such a wonderful opportunity." The impact of ANEW's programs, including the Spoken English course, has been profound. With newly acquired skills and improved confidence, Pavithra feels better prepared for various career opportunities. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of accessible education. Today, Pavithra not only stands as a proud graduate with enhanced skills but also as a passionate advocate for ANEW, encouraging others to seize the opportunities it offers. Her story is a beacon of hope and a reminder that with the right support and determination, one can overcome any adversity.
