Nagaraju Naik is a young man from Chamarajanagar, whose family is basically from an agricultural background. He completed his PUC and with no one to guide him, just sat at home and used to while away precious time . His older brother was employed with HDFC bank in Bangalore. Nagaraju’s parents were very anxious about his future.
Nagaraj was very well aware about the concerns of his parents and he himself also felt very insecure and unsure as to what the future holds for him. It was at this time that he came across UNNATI
At UNNATI he was taken under the retail stream and began his classes. Initially, he found it very difficult to adhere to the tough routine, as it meant that he had to be disciplined and reach UNNATI by 8 am in the morning and attend all classes till 6 pm. This was very difficult for him since he had fallen into a pattern of a sedentary lifestyle, but his perseverance paid off and he stuck to the routine religiously. Today , he is immensely proud of himself for not missing a single day at UNNATI and finding what a world of difference it has made to him.
After the successful completion of the course ,KFC hired him for their Marathahalli outlet for a salary of Rs. 7200/-.Nagaraju is extremely grateful to UNNATI for showing him a direction and moulding him to take on this world and ultimately help him make a success of his life. His happiness knows no bounds and we at UNNATI know that nothing can stop this young man anymore.
Nagaraju is ambitious and wishes to complete his BSc degree through correspondence.
At KFC, Nagaraju has completed a stint in supply and is now in the kitchen base, after which he hopes to move on to the cash base. He has been successfully passing his examinations and moving to the different bases .All thanks to the motivation he got at UNNATI. He is aware that with promotion he may have to leave Bangalore but he is ready and willing to go wherever his job takes him. There is no looking back for this young man.
Nagaraju says that he will always be grateful to UNNATI for making him believe in himself , motivating him and giving him positive inputs in communication and discipline. What he liked most at UNNATI was that every student was paid individual attention. It was not only the bright students who were encouraged but even the candidates who were lagging behind were helped patiently.
People in his village have noticed the change in him and wish to emulate him. Nagaraju encourages other youngsters in the village to join Unnati and change their lives. His life has undergone a world of change and he thanks UNNATI for showing him a direction and being responsible for making him standing tall.
