My name is Paresh. I am from Palyem, Pernem. I passed VIIth class and then left school because my classmates used to make fun of me. But I needed to study and get a job to survive. A good friend of mine took me to Bhumika Technical Institute, Palye which was very close to my house. I was offered turner course by the institute and I joined the course in the year 2003. I completed the one year course and passed the examination in the month of July 2004. Our teacher guided us properly and we did lot of practical work and presently I am working as a turner in “Thivim Industrial Estate” at Karaswada, Mapusa
