Sharada Dawar, a bhil tribal girl, was born visually impaired. But that did not stop her from working hard to achieve her goals. On Monday, Sharada, 24, went to meet the district collector of Alirajpur in Madhya Pradesh so she could return Rs 10,000 he had given her a few months ago to help her finish her studies. Hard work and consistency landed Sharada a job as a probationary officer in the Bank of India. And, this daughter of a farmer residing in a village near Indore has made the country proud. ‘I returned the money to the collector because I got selected and thought the money could be used by the collector to help any needy for his/her studies,’ said Sharada. Sharada had asked for collectors help when she was doing her graduation, and he had immediately handed her a demand draft of Rs 10,000. Sharada’s inspiring story has touched the heart of many and has been doing the rounds on social media. The extremely proud collector added, ‘she is now an example amongst the tribals of Jobat. I salute her self-respect.’ Sharada, on the other hand, has been receiving congratulatory messages. ‘Many people from various places called me and congratulated me for my self-respect and success. Some senior officers of the administration and education department came to village to meet me and said that they will honour me,’ she said. In fact, the proud residents of Jobat are planning to honour Sharada for her achievement. ‘In the next few days, we will organise a ceremony for Sharada,’ said Rajesh Bhil, a resident of Jobat and tribal leader. Sharada and her achievements are an example for the entire country, even more, because she comes from Alirajpur, a place in India with one of the lowest literacy rates. But she only proves, that nothing is impossible.
