Despite these challenges, she was determined not to miss any exams, emphasizing the importance of education in shaping her future. Her family fully supported her decision to continue studying after becoming a mother.

Nanded education officer Madhav Salgar praised the college’s initiative and assured that such arrangements would be made at exam centres in the future to motivate other students in similar situations.
