A resident of Dapoli, Jagruti lives in a 10x10 sq feet room with her family where her mother is the sole bread winner of the family as her father has been very ill since 2009 and remains confined to the house.

“We’re very poor and can’t afford even the basic facilities for Jagruti who has always been a bright student. I try my best to encourage her in her studies by borrowing money or by mortgaging my jewellery. Our relatives also help us. I’m very proud of Jagruti’s hard work and well-deserved success,” said Madhura Mandpe, Jagruti’s mother.
“Jagruti has big dreams. I hope that with proper guidance and help, she’ll go a long way,” said Jagruti’s relative.
