Aatish @ George Telegraph

C

ould you recall the TV ad……where a young man ...having confident look....riding a bike.....transformed himself into a successful Corporate Executive from an addabaz Unemployed one…....by enrolling himself in a vocational course from the George Telegraph on time…and subsequently a big change came….a successful career and meaningful life as a result….Yes…it is Aatish who enacted the role of the young person.

Well, this handsome man needs no introduction. Tagged by many names like romantic, heartthrob, confident, smart, he definitely has all the reasons to be No. 1. Aatish, known as “Inspector Indrajit” in Sony’s Kolkata CID Bureau or “Usman Khan” in ETV Bangla’s Durgeshnandini,  is quirky in his style and carries his own aura.

He was appointed by GTTI in 2005 and has since fronted their vocational education programme for under privileged youth successfully. He acted both in print ads and TVCs.

His presence were felt in the recent TVC where Mr. Anupam Roy, a popular Bengali singer dedicated his song “ Jibon Gorar Gaan” for George Telegraph.

Contextually, The George Telegraph Training Institute (GTTI) is one of the pioneers in education in India and was established in 16th May, 1920 by late Mr. Haripad Dutta in response to the potential gravity of the unemployment problem.

The GTTI is a registered trust dedicated in providing underprivileged youth to the industry relevant training that enables them to become economically independent.  The GTTI has all along imparted education through more than forty vocational courses to the youth of the nation with the sole objective to give them a career. To name a few 

a) Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, 

b) Automobile Engineering, 

c) Air condition and Refrigeration Engineering, 

d) Computer Hardware Engineering, 

e) Media studies 

f) Electrical Technician, 

g) Mobile and Telephone Technician, 

h) Mass communication and Public Relations, 

i) Civil Construction Technology/Management 

j) Certified Professional Accountant 

k) Civil/Mechanical Draftsmanship. 

It is perhaps more than successful in fulfilling the above objective, as the pages of history will reveal. The GTTI all these years have worked towards the objectives of alleviating unemployment problem through providing the youth with job oriented training, empowered the youth of average merit with relevant set of skills and guided him towards a successful career.

The GTTI from one training centre in Sealdah, Kolkata in 1920 has expanded to 50 centres across the eastern states of India imparting training to more than 25,000 students. The objective behind the expansion is to reach the fruits of its unique vocational curriculum to the most needed in the non-metropolitan areas. The Institute is also a training partner of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Govt. of India. 

As an actor, association with a leading vocational institute for a unemployment cause is rare attainment for him. A challenging and substantial role always motivates Aatish.

Wish him all the best!
