Anjelus Minj hails from the backward village of Gohaibheti of Udalguri district in Assam. He was born on 15th October 1991. His father was a small cultivator, who struggled really hard to make both ends meet and provide for the joint family of six. Seeing the pitiable condition of his father, Anjelus decided to take things into his hands and shoulder the responsibility of the family. Things turned out to be miserable when after few months his father died due to illness. In order to help the familyr, he decided to join some short term technical course. While looking for the same he came to know about Don Bosco Technical School, Maligaon from his guardian Fr. Joseph Congadi.
With the hope to fulfill his own dream and his aged mothers’ aspirations, he took admission in the Motor Mechanic course. He showed keen interest in the training and was regular in class. Soon the time came when his training was completed, and Anjelus got employed. Through Don Bosco Tech Society, Maligaon, and the intervention of PRT placement cell, he got placement as a mechanic at Abhishek Motors, which is a principal dealer of Tata Motors. He joined it with the aim to gain good experience and improve further in his job. The firm, recognizing his great potential to excel in the profession, sent him to Kolkata along with another Bosconian, Arun Hembrom for one month higher training for skill up-gradation twice in May & December 2009. He is now earning Rs. 5,500 per month with other benefits like PF, E.S.I, etc. Mr. A. K. Nath, Deputy General Manager of Abhishek Motors highly appreciates him for his sincerity, discipline, punctuality and hard work.
Anjelus is now an independent person. Being the eldest son of the family he is now able to look after his complete family. When asked how he feels today, he exclaimed, “Whatever I am today it is because of DB Tech. The credit goes to my trainers who made me so capable. At the training I got every opportunity to learn the technical skill and could inculcate life skills through training activities, seminars, games and other extra-curricular activities”. Anjelus feels proud of his achievement and has a word of advice for other youngsters who like him are on the brink of losing hope. “Failures are the stepping stone for success,” he says emphatically. Anjelus also dreams of setting up his own garage one day.
