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.
