Speaking to Team Mangalorean, Stany Alvares- President of Rachana said, ” Rachana has been assiduously pursuing the objectives over the past 19 years through regular seminars, training programmes, liaison and lobbying with government and semi-government. To promote youth for self-employment, Rachana through Entrepreneurs Development Cell has organized many workshops and camps, with an aim to support and encourage youth to become entrepreneurs. Having organized nearly 40 seminars with 1380 participants, of which 191 have started their own businesses, with the financial aid of Rs 2 Crore 73 lakhs arranged by Rachana through banks and other financial firms. We have also helped small businesses to grow into the larger sector.”

“Due to the unity between the Rachana members, the organization has grown to greater heights and been successful in our ventures. When we see a budding entrepreneur and who wants to move forward and be successful in his business, we at Rachana encourage such kind of entrepreneurs to start their own business. Youth should concentrate on starting their own business in their hometown, rather than go abroad, because there are lots of opportunities here in Mangaluru and DK. We at Rachana have started to encourage the present youth, and motivate them to start a project/business right here and develop this city. Rachana is always ready to help such kind of budding entrepreneurs. Over 500 young Catholics have approached us for knowledge and support as to how to go ahead with a business. And my humble request is that the Catholic community should also support Rachana in our efforts and projects which they are doing for the betterment of the Catholic youth and the community. Let’s all work together to build a strong Catholic community, and also retain our Catholic community. We can do it if we all join and work hard for a good cause” added Stany Alvares.

So make plans for this Saturday- come join and enjoy the fun and frolic at the ‘Rachana Entrepreneurs Day’ on 25 November 2017 from 6 pm onwards at Milagres Golden Jubilee Hall-Falnir Road-Mangaluru- and promote a good cause.
