Met Yogita, a student who passed out from the 10th standard, from our school, Somaiya Vidya Mandir, at Sakarwadi. This school is located in rural Maharashtra, and much of the community that comes to study here, are quite poor.
She stood first in the school.
She was married early, but still went on to pursue her diploma, and now wants to do engineering. I asked her, what she would like to do next, and she mentioned that she would like to join the civil service. Amazing.
And her husband, a polite and small farmer, was there, behind her. Supporting her.
Too often, we here stories about people being obstacles. Here was a quiet man, fully supporting and standing behind the dreams of his wife.
