A daughter can make family proud too

Azad Foundation India-Nirma

Nirma is the oldest child of her parents, and was only educated till class 9 as her father and his family do not believe in educating their girls. This led to friction between Nirma’s father and mother. Nirma was unable to pass class 10 due to family difficulties, but has always been keen to keep learning and get employed. So when the opportunity to be a part of the Women on Wheels programme came through MJAS, Nirma’s mother enrolled her.

One of the youngest in the programme, Nirma is also the brightest. A quick learner, Nirma is already ahead of her batch-mates. While most of the other trainees are only starting with on the road practice, Nirma is already doing self-drives with another trainee, Mamta.

‘I wish to be a proficient professional driver and I hope to reconcile with my father and prove to him and my family that daughters can make them proud too.’ says Nirma with a big smile.
