Report on Village Officer’s seminar (Talati) at Pethapur

After repeated emails, hard copies, phone calls 29 youth had come to Pethapur on 24th September 2015 to attend the preparatory classes for Village Officers’ examination.

The Archdiocesan Youth Ministry of Gandhinagar with the support of Mr. Rajulbhai Azad had organized this seminar which motivated and prepared the youth for a better career in getting into the main stream by obtaining government jobs. The seminar lasted for four days from 24thto 27th September 2015. The resource persons were Mr. Pravinbhai Thakkar for English, Mr. Nirmal Vora for Constitution of India, Mr. Kailas for Maths and Reasoning, Mr. Hitesh for Gujarati. The class would begin at 8 am and would end at 10 pm with a lunch, supper break in between. The youth were very enthusiastic to attend and grasp the knowledge since it was to do with their life and future. The Youth were very grateful to Archbishop and Fathers for their comfortable stay and food arrangements at Jeevan Vikas Kendra. Mr. Rajul sir and Fr. Xavier James accompanied the youth throughout the programme. (Xavier James)

Evaluation by the Youth

The Youth were very grateful to the Archbishop, Fathers and Rajul sir for organizing the seminar for them. They felt very good to attend the seminar in a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Some felt that the four days that they spent at the seminar was a turning point in their life. As English language, Constitution of India, Maths and Reasoning, Gujarati Language and Tests were very useful in their day today life. They felt very grateful to the love, selfless service shown of by the priests and felt at home there. Few of them expressed their interest in giving their exam again and becoming a Talati.

Other than meeting and learning from professional teachers they were also grateful for the values like discipline and punctuality that were instilled in them along with the Rosary and the Holy Eucharist. They were grateful to Rajul sir, Fr. Xavier James and all the arrangements done by JVK fathers for the substantial food and comfortable stay they had. Some gained the confidence in answering competitive examination and felt that they would surely pass this time.

A few others felt that the seminar was scheduled well and no time was wasted. They said that Fr. Xavier James understood them and their situation and hoped that he would organize such seminars in future.

Thank you Rajul sir and Fr. Xavier James for constantly accompanying us.
