My wife and I are daily wage labourers. In the morning I go to work and my wife works as a sweeper in a school. Bharti manages her younger brothers. Then she studies till 1 o’clock at night, both of them wake up turn by turn to guard Bharti.

The family used to stay in a hut on the pavement in the city’s Shivaji Market, but unfortunately it was demolished during an encroachment drive.
Bharti’s story has become an inspiration for all. In the end, hard work always pays off and this story is proof.
