19-year-old dream of becoming first lady doctor from her village, Sachin Tendulkar gives succour
Mumbai: Little Master Sachin Tendulkar has come to the aid of 19-year-old Dipti Vishvasrao, a resident of Zarye village in Ratnagiri district, and the latter is now on course towards becoming the first lady doctor from her village.
Even though she was a brilliant student all throughout and had always dreamt of becoming a doctor, getting to her goal was never too easy. During the lockdown, she would travel a kilometre everyday since her village was remotely located, so she could get a network connection to be able to continue her studies online.

Her hard work paid rich dividends as Dipti who had performed exceptionally well in her board examinations, and also successfully cleared the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), secured admission to the Government Medical College at Akola.
But that was not enough, as even after successfully securing admission to a medical college, financial constraints were preventing Dipti from pursuing her dreams. After securing admission to the medical college, she was unable to afford the fees and other expenses due to her father's modest income. While her relatives contributed to the fees, she was still short of funds for the hostel and other expenses.
