Yavatmal: When she was three, she lost her father. The tiny tot, instead of playing with toys, had to hold a gunny bag in her hand. On the streets of Yavatmal in Maharashtra, she would walk for hours along with her younger sister and mother to collect rags from gutters and roadside dustbins.
After sorting out the rags and other waste materials, they would then sell it to the scrap to dealers to run their house.
Meet Banu Sheikh Safi, a resident of Ravidas Nagar. While continuing to pick rags from the streets, she did not ignore her education and studied till Class XII. She then went on to join the Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery (ANM) course in the Government Medical College, Yavatmal.
Her sister, Kshama, also studied with her, but dropped out from the course and is now taking care of her ailing mother.
Ms Safi, now in her early 30s, is working as a nurse in a public health centre.
Impressed by her grit to transform her life, Shabbir Khan, a tailor from Rui (Wai) village in the district came forward to marry her.
The two tied the knot on Sunday in presence of a host of dignitaries.
Maharashtra Minister of State for Energy Madan Yerawar of BJP, District Guardian Minister Sanjay Rathod of Shiv Sena, Yavatmal’s Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Kumar Singh were present at the wedding ceremony arranged by her foster brother Prakash Nandurkar.
Ms Safi’s life is a shining example on how choosing education can alter the course of one’s life.
