Poverty killed my education

Dhanalakshmi hails from Porur, Central Madras. Her family consists of her parents and two brothers. One of her brother was attacked by polio when he was a kid and still needs medical supervision. Her father retired from a private company but his income was never sufficient to run a family.

Although Dhanalakshmi was very much interested to study, she could not complete her education and had to stop with 12th standard.

Dhanalakshmi then took up the responsibility and moved forward smartly. She availed loan from an institution and set up a small STD booth centre which was helping her gradually with its minimal margin as revenue. She waited patiently and saved some money and again loaned out some money from which she purchased a photocopy machine. Today she runs this centre with utmost pride and confidence. Her entrepreneurial courage has made her stand on her own feet by also supporting her family with immense care and love.
