After practicing them, I am confident to cultivate crop even in my land. No more need to wait for someone who will give me job. I can earn more in my land without harming my self-respect.Thanks for encouraging me to stand on my own to take care my children.”

these reading room libraries also have many stories to say, many
memories to remember and many feelings to share. This splendid
glamour attracts me towards it. I participate in debate on any
topic. I feel happy studying in school.

In library, I can easily select books of my choice and interest. I got a
platform to demonstrate my hidden talents and potentials. I could
gain knowledge by reading books as a result now I can convey
ethical ways and meaningful things to my family members and
friends.

It was very difficult for me and my family to accept that TB can be cured.Disha gave me empathy and helped me continue my treatment. Sometimes I dropped medicine as medicine caused side effects and my body wasnot so strong to bear that. But, due to regular follow up and support of Disha and my family I could recover. Thanks to all for bringing my life back on track to lead a dignified life.”
