Rajdeep Subba heads from a very remote village mainly named Pokhriabong  busty of Darjeeling district. He is 21 years old and belongs to extremely poor family. At a very tender age of 1 year he had to lose his mother as she was suffering from tuberculosis and his family did not have sufficient money for her treatment. His father was a farmer who used to cultivate vegetables and fruits in landlord’s land. He has 3 elder sisters and 2 elder brothers. His father earning was not enough for their livelihood so his eldest sister started working as a helper in others house. Later on his eldest sister got married and took care of his education. During his school days every morning he used to wake up at 4;30 a.m to help his father in field and immediately after the school used to rush to the nearby haath bazaar to sell vegetables and fruits.

He was born and bought up with lot of difficulties and pain. A child without  a mother is so incomplete but again god was particularly very partial with  this poor lad. As he had to again under go a very bad time and this time was his father’s turn. He had to again loose his father at age of 16. Now he had become completely orphan. “My world had suddenly turned upside down and I felt like running away from my own house,” recalls Rajdeep. During his H.S days he had take tuitions for kinder garden students for his tuition fees and had to work as a shepherd for his little pocket money. Before joining DB-Tech he used to sit in one of his cousin Pan Shop for his survival. It was during that difficult period that Rajdeep  heard from Fr Mathew (Don Bosco School, Mirik) about a vocational training programme called Bosco Academy for Skills and Employment(BASE) being organized in the vicinity by Salesian  College,Siliguri. “I approached Rajdeep because he actually was a very needy boy. He had a burning desire to stand on his own feet and come out of the poverty,” says Miss Sahara(Retail Sales Trainer, Siliguri). Rajdeep  enrolled in the course and took the “Interest Inventory” check administered by his trainers. They counseled him that Retail Sales would be an appropriate domain for him to take up.
During the entire training   period he showed  very keen interest in the training and was very active in all activities. “He is an excellent  dancerr”, says Miss Sahara. “I got every opportunity to learn the domain specific skills as well as all Life and Soft skills through training programme and mostly practical exposures like Industrial Visits to different shopping malls and On Job Training(OJT) in Big Bazaar was very fruitful”, says Rajdeep. Before completing his 90 days of training  he was luckily blessed by a very good job. He was offered a job  of Sales Executive in Shoppers Stop in watch department(Priority) with an starting salary of Rs 6,000 per month, plus  other incentives which in average comes to minimum Rs 1500 per month. Looking back, Rajdeep feels very proud of his achievement and has a word of advice to other youth like him  “ONE NEEDS TO WORK HARD AND BELIEVE IN ONESELF”, says Rajdeep. Lastly, he is extremely grateful to his all trainers and would like to specially thank DB-Tech for providing such a beautiful platform to less privileged children like him.
