Rajveer: Going Strong

There is no particular age to become a hero or an inspiration. All you need is the courage and determination to defy all the odds and move on to do what you believe in. Rajveer, from our Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare, Mohali is an example of a true hero and an inspiration to many of us.

He is a student of Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare, Mohali and was enrolled in our Hospital Front Office and Billing Executive. During his on-the-job training (OJT) period at Amar Hospital, Patiala, he was tested COVID positive and had to take the mandatory precautions and stayed in isolation. 

The flu affected his health and made him physically weak, but his passion to become a Healthcare professional became stronger. Once he completed his quarantine period and tested negative, he re-joined the Hospital and completed his OJT period. “Rajveer has been very sincere and punctual during his classes and would always volunteer in the class. We were sure that his determination would take him a long way in his life,” says Ms. Puri, Rajveer’s English & Soft Skills teacher.

“Family is first”

Nineteen-year-old vivacious Jaspreet has not let her difficult life get her down. One of a family of four, she was studying in grade eleven in a government secondary school, Adarsh Nagar when her father (who owns a TV repair shop) met with an accident and suffered a spinal injury that left him bedridden. The family found itself faced with an extended sickness and hospitalisation in a major hospital. “Surgery cost… huge… We are financially backward and my brother earns Rs 17,000… Family is first..” says an ever-smiling Jaspreet. Jaspreet’s self-confidence and fluency in English helped her ace two intense interviews taken by Moolchand Hospital. She is the very first student from our first ever Hospital Front Office & Billing Executive batch from the SMART Academy, Delhi to be recruited.

The Story of Determination and Grit

The brave Shivani lives with her mother, sister and two of the three brothers. She and her mother are the pillars of their house. The elder brother works, whereas the middle and the younger brothers are persons with addiction. One of them even left the house; never to return. Shivani works with her mother in various houses from where she came to know about the Delhi Academy for Healthcare and enrolled herself in. She then joined the GDA course at the Academy. She also gives tuitions to small kids to bear her commute expenses. An iron-lady supporting her mother, drug-addict brother(s) with one of them missing, and an elder sister who was a pre-mature baby and can barely contribute financially to the house; Shivani in true sense is the Hero of her family.

Chasing Dreams

Seema is a short built, talkative girl with a smiling face who makes light of her hardships.

At the tender age of ten she had bone TB that left half her body paralysed. She can still recall the pain she went through, as she was rushed for treatment from one hospital to another. Her schooling had to be stopped. But she continued to study from home and appeared in the class ten board exams through correspondence.”My mother would often break into tears seeing my condition. But she always stood by me till I was able to take care of myself,” says Seema.

Her mother’s care and regular medication helped Seema to start walking on her own and she re-joined regular school and completed class 12.

But this healthy phase was short lived. Seema again fell ill and was diagnosed with severe bone deformity that left her bedridden.”I felt like a burden on my family. I was depressed but my family gave me strength. I was given treatment and I recovered,” she recalls.

“Gateway to the stability and happiness of his family.”

Sarfaraz comes from a large family of 12. Neither of his parents work due to their age and illnesses. His two elder brothers have been a rock of support, not just for him, but for their seven other siblings too. Sarfaraz was recruited by one of Delhi’s top hospitals – Sir Gangaram Hospital and is on its payroll now. For this young man, completing the General Duty Assistant’s course means much more than another step in life. It is the gateway to the stability and happiness of his family.

Rakhi never thought that her first job will land her at Medical Fertility Centre with a handsome salary amount. She is now working as a General Duty Assistant in Medicover IVF Hospital. Her father is an electrician and earns just enough to support her family. “I always wanted to join the medical field. Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare gave me that opportunity. Here teachers are like your friends and the labs, infrastructure and all other facilities are just excellent. No where in the city you will be able to find this kind of atmosphere”, says a very cheerful Rakhi.

“ I’ve always wanted to do something to help people”

By the age of 26, Pushpinder Singh had tried a variety of jobs – he’d worked in a call centre and a recovery agent for a bank. He even did a course in air-ticketing but didn’t find work anywhere. “When my business ran into a loss, I was unhappy and looking for something fulfilling to do,” says Pushpinder. “When I heard about the Academy through a mobiliser, it got me thinking about working in the healthcare sector. I’ve always wanted to do something to help people, I think the biggest advantage at the Academy is the teachers’ attitude towards students, anyone can easily approach them and ask for help,” says a proud Pushpinder who now works at Moolchand Hospital, New Delhi.
