Veichingkim Singsit, daughter of Paokhongm and Neilhing, hails from New Songset Village, Jalukie Block, Peren District, Nagaland. She is a vibrant and dynamic young woman, known for her extroverted nature and unwavering dedication always willing to go the extra mile
After passing her HSLC, she wanted to continue her studies but was unable to due to family constraints. Determined to enhance her skills, she discovered the DDU-GKY tourism and hospitality training through a friend and enrolled.
After completing her 12th standard, Veichingkim Singsit found herself at a crossroads, unsure about what path to take for her future. For 2 to 3 years, she struggled with uncertainty and a lack of direction. During this challenging period, a friend introduced her to a training centre that offered courses under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) with assured placement.
Motivated by the opportunity to gain skills and build a career, Veichingkim decided to enroll in the Hospitality and Tourism training program. She hoped thatthis training would open doors for her and help her secure a stable and fulfilling career in the industry. This decision marked a turning point in her journey toward personal and professional growth.
Upon successfully completing her training, Veichingkim was thrilled to be offered a position as an F&B Service Associate at JW Marriott, Goa. Embracing the role with passion and commitment, she worked diligently, always eager to learn and grow.
Now, nearly two years later, her hard work and dedication have paid off—Veichingkim has been promoted to F&B Executive, with substantial increase in salary. With her new role, she proudly supports her family in New Songset village and is funding her younger siblings’ education. Her journey stands as a powerful example of how the right opportunity, paired with determination, can transform lives.
“I am deeply grateful to DDU-GKY under the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India, and to NSRLM, Government of Nagaland, for helping me create a meaningful opportunity not just for myself, but also for my family. This program has played a vital role in shaping my career and empowering me to become self-reliant during a challenging phase of my life. It has truly been a turning point in my journey.”
