Femasdi Girisa comes from a BPL family; her family which includes six members depends completely upon Farming. The yearly earning of the family is just around Rs. 20,000. Due to this meagre income of the family, she had to say no to her education after passing her 10^th. Leaving away the studies, she wanted to do something to help her family. At this time, when she was hunting to do something valuable for the family, she got to know about DB Tech running the BASE Programme; this is a training programme that offers three month-long livelihood training courses in different domains for the poor and needy youth and helps them get placed in the industry. This programme is being launched by DB Tech in partnership with Ministry of Rural Development (Govt. of India).

After knowing about this creditable program, she visited the DB Tech centre located at Dimapur being really motivated to join the training. After evaluating the quality interest test, it was decided that she will be given training in the Retail Domain. She was happy to get training in Retail domain as she was good in interacting and communicating with the people. On asking what expectations she has from the programme she replied that she has joined the programme with the hope of getting a good job that can make her independent and with which she could support her family.

The training program helped her learn skills to handle different customers confidently. She even learned how to operate the computer and communicate effectively. She had developed a right attitude to face life with hard work and honesty. From the number of interviews organised by DB Tech for her, she got selected in Jack & Jill, an exclusive showroom in Dimapur, Nagaland and working with great satisfaction.  When she was asked, how she feels to be working, she said, “ I always used to think that doing a job is a very difficult task, as one needs to work for long hours and obey his/her seniors. But now, I find it really pleasing, I am learning so many new things to deal effectively with the people around.

She is presently earning a monthly salary of Rs. 3500, out of which she spends Rs.1500 on her own expenditure and rest satisfies the family needs. Talking to one of her colleague at her workplace, we got to know that she is really dedicated towards her work, and always aspire to go forward, she always keep on saying, “I want a promotion, I want to be a supervisor.” At her success, her parents exclaim, “D.B.
