Poor economic condition of her family forced Sangeeta to quit studies midway. Her dream was to become teacher but had to drop out of school after 9th class. Her father a mill worker with modest income of Rs 5,000 per month and four children - two girls and two sons – struggled to make the ends meet. Her mother also took up job in the same factory to support her husband in raising the family but the income was still not enough to meet education expenditure of all four children.

As usual, the girls had to make sacrifice to pave the way for their brothers’ education. Like millions of girls in the country, she would have spent her life being a homemaker doing household chores. But, as the luck would have it, Sangeeta got another chance to fulfill her dream.

Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign, one fine day a team of women brand ambassadors of Dungarpur municipal council came to her home while doing a survey. 

Sangeeta was washing utensils when she heard them saying that municipal council will bear the cost of girls’ education. She told them that she wanted to study.

Looking her strong desire for education, the team decided to get her enrolled in class 10th and bear full cost of the education. Sangeeta and her family are happy.

The credit goes to Dungarpur municipal council and its chairman K K Gupta who has taken the initiative to implement chief minister Vasundhara Raje’s dream of improving gender ratio and getting more and more girls into formal education.

Gupta has taken decision to support education of 101 girls from poor families. For this, a survey of 30 wards was completed in 10 days. 

Now, many girls like Sangeeta are looking forward to get back to school.

That’s not all. There have been many feathers in Gupta’s cap. Earlier, he had put Dungarpur on national map in Swachchta Abhiyan.
