Kaivalya Success Stories: Kedi Students
Daksha belongs to a very small tribal village, situated amongst the hills of Vindhyachal in Narmada district. Her family is extremely poor. She lost her father three years back and since then, being the eldest child, every monsoon, she goes home to till their tiny hilly farmland by herself.
Daksha, during the initial few months at Kedi, had a low self esteem as she had travelled to a town like Dharampur for the first time hence was looking confused and scared. She had attended the primary school in her native area but her learning was negligible but fortunately, She was ready to learn and make progress. Due to democratic environment and hands-on, experiential teaching learning methodology along with the emphasis on acquiring life skills and financial independence at Kedi, she started blooming. Daksha turned out to be the fast learner who also willingly started taking up other responsibilities by demonstrating leadership qualities. After graduating from high school with 78%, she decided to join a very prestigious T. And T.V. School of Nursing at Surat. Daksha has a very bright future because she is already invited by few doctors to work with them once she graduates from nursing school.
