Shiva’s story

Shiva’s Triumph: A Journey from Adversity to Opportunity

Shiva’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Growing up in a challenging environment in Chhattisgarh, he was raised by an alcoholic father whose words often reinforced his struggles with disability. Despite these hardships, Shiva remained devoted to his younger sister, who also has a disability, taking on the role of her caretaker while living at his uncle’s modest home.

Shiva was pursuing his graduation when financial constraints and family responsibilities made it difficult to continue. As his father’s condition worsened and the family lacked a steady income, Shiva had to step in to support them. At times, he felt his dreams of building a better future slipping away.

A turning point came when Shiva learned about Tanya Computer Centre in Baloda Bazar. Intrigued by the opportunity to gain new skills, he decided to enrol. The decision was not easy, balancing classes, caring for his sister, and managing household responsibilities tested his determination. However, his resolve carried him forward.

At the centre, Shiva found a supportive environment where instructors understood his struggles and guided him with patience and encouragement. Learning both basic and advanced computer skills opened new possibilities, allowing him to envision a career built on knowledge and technology rather than physical labour.

His journey highlights the power of education and opportunity, proving that with the right support, even the most difficult circumstances can be overcome. Shiva’s story is a shining example of how empowerment through technology and skill development can transform lives, and it stands as an inspiration to many.
