23-year-old Laxmi Venkatsrinivas Reddy coming from the small town of Kolhapur, Maharashtra took over the family responsibility when her father met with a sudden accident.
Laxmiβs father says,”πΏππ₯ππ ππ π‘βπ ππππ π‘ πππππ’ππ‘π ππ ππ’π ππππππ¦. πΌπ‘ ππ ππππππ π ππππ π πππ βππ£πππ π πππ’πβπ‘ππ ππππ βππ.β Her parents have considered her nothing less compared to a boy.
Back in Kolhapur girls were meant to be wedded off yet Laxmi contesting stereotype preferred income than a wedding. Unlike other peer groups who took up the decision of getting married. Despite the community pressure of getting married to ease off the fatherβs burden, Laxmi took up employment as a refuge to bring employment on the platter.
The harsh reality struck when a graduate like her faced back to back unemployment rejections. She had to take up tuitions and other odd jobs to support her family. Yet her quest for a dream career was still on search until she came across the Java Web Programming training atΒ Anudip FoundationΒ Skill and Career Development centre, Airoli.
She started her course after her job hours and dedicated herself to the training completely. Laxmi attended her first interview atΒ CapgeminiΒ which she cracked with ease. Laxmi is now earning a package of INR 3 lakhs per annum in a multinational company. βπππππ¦ ππ¦ πΏππ₯ππ πππ ππππ‘ππ ππππ πππ’πβπ‘ππ ππ ππππ πππππ‘π¦β says the proud father who credits his only daughter-who took up responsibility of the entire family.
Laxmiβs mother while packing her daughterβs lunchbox says smiling, “πΈπ£πππ¦ πππππππ π€βππ πΌ ππππ ππππ πππ πΏππ₯ππ ππ’π π‘ ππππ π‘βπ π€ππ¦ πΌ ππππ ππππ πππ πΏππ₯ππβπ πππ‘βππ, πΌ ππππ π π ππππ’π ππ βππ. πβπ ππ ππππππ π‘βπ πΊπππππ π πΏππ₯ππ ππ ππ’π βππ’π π.β
