They used to earn very little money from that but it was enough for them to at least live. However, ragpicking didn’t make them lose focus on studies. They knew the value of knowledge and studied till class 12th. After that, they joined Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery (ANM) course in the Government Medical College, Yavatmal.
