Today, Kavita(extreme left) has left for Satara where she has sought admission for MSc, Zoology. It is a moment of pride for all of us to see Kavita who was a shy girl from a remote Tribal area, blossom into a topper in her class. She has secured 87% marks. Seema(behind) too has excelled in her field as a teacher who teaches English and Maths in a local school in Panchgani. Both Seema and Kavita came to Panchgani 10 years ago when they were little girls studying in the 5 th Std. Here they are seen with Suresh Sir’s two daughters.
