I’m very thankful to Chitnavis trust for giving me different opportunities to serve in various projects.

The online and offline batches of visually impaired students’ soft skills batch is most dear to me as it not only satisfies me grooming them but is a self-learning. We count our blessings by being at Chitnavis trust and the bonding it develops with the faculties and students is worth appreciating.

The summer camp session, the ladies spoken English sessions and various school visits and taking sessions there too is a wonderful experience. The staff and their dedication really deserve a great adoration. Feel blessed to be a part of Chitnavis trust family.

I joined the beauty parlor classes offered by the Chitnavis Trust in the year 2022-2023. I found the classes incredibly helpful. Our teacher was very thorough and supportive for the entire duration of the course. After this course, I could start my own beauty parlor and thanks to the Trust, I have a stable income and my business is doing very well.

Sangeeta Gurave

I started the Beauty Parlour classes in 2023 and I am very grateful for my teacher there. I learned a lot in my four months with Chitnavis Trust, at the end of which I got a job at Habibs, and I’m currently working at Change Parlour, Civil Lines. I am very confident after my training and I’m earning well enough to support myself and my family.

After my six-month course of stitching classes at the Chitnavis Center Office, I am very confident in my abilities as my teacher there taught me stitching right from the basics. I have begun taking orders from home and I am earning well.
