Pratibha Madhukar
Pratibha never let her hearing impairment come in the way of her confidence and aspiration. A student in M. Com’s 2nd year, she is a favourite among her commerce professors in her college in the small town of Dindori. They are sure that Pratibha would comfortably pass the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exam. The fact that her hearing ability had become negligible all of a sudden in grade 7 never affected her results. Such is she.

Since college, Gauri started earning for both of them by teaching the children of her village in the evenings. Her grandfather can no longer work. She pays her college fees, gets some medicines for the old man, buys some groceries, and then saves some for the higher studies she aspires to do.
