Jyoti and her family moved from Bihar to Delhi when she was a young girl. Her father worked as a tailor in a garment factory and saved his daily wages to ensure Jyoti and her three siblings completed their schooling. However, he could not support Jyoti's higher education. So she began looking for a job, but her lack of educational qualifications proved to be a barrier.

At that point of time, her friend told her about the free courses offered by GMRV Centre for Empowerment & Livelihoods, Delhi (CEL-D) run by Delhi International Airport Ltd. as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. Accompanied by her father, she visited the Centre to see for herself if CEL-D was indeed offering vocational courses for free.

Jyoti states that when they entered CEL-D for the first time, they could not believe how spacious and clean the campus was. She was also happy to see many youth like her enrolled in various courses at the Centre. After speaking to GMRVF staff, she immediately signed up to join the 'Basic Computer' course.

Jyoti went through intensive practical oriented training accompanied by sessions on Soft Skills, Spoken English and Personality Development. She successfully passed the final assessment with a good grade.

On successfully completing the course, she was placed with a reputable organization in Delhi at a starting salary of Rs. 22,500 per month. Jyoti says, "CEL-D helped me take my first steps towards achieving my goals. My experience as a student was enriching."
