Mann Deshi's Goat Doctor Madam: Women Transforming India Award Winner....
Ms. Sunita from Mahud village in Solapur district was on her way to Delhi for accepting Women Transforming India Award. Worried about safety, her grandmother told Sunita, “No one from our seven generations has ever travelled to Delhi in an aeroplane. I’m proud of you. Don’t peep out of the plane and don’t keep your hands out of the window, be safe!”
Sunita couldn't complete her education and left schooling before completing matriculation. After marriage, she realized necessity to generate additional income to fulfill her family needs. Later, she contacted Mann Deshi and enrolled for the Goat Doctor's training. She got trained in goat insemination and goat-keeping from Mann Deshi. Defying all odds, she became first woman goat veterinarian in the region.
Currently, Sunita works in about 50 villages and heads the team of 13 goat doctors. She also delivers training on goat-keeping to other women and looks forward to expand the area of operation. Sunita and her team have successfully inseminated more than 3,000 goats till date.
Sunita has been awarded Women Transforming India Award by NITI Aayog, myGOV and United Nations India for admiring her work.
Sunita, who has never been on a stage even to accept a flower, delivered impeccable award acceptance speech in Delhi on Aug 29th.
Dear Mann Deshi Supporters, thank you so much for all your support.
Sincerely Yours,
