A woman from Maharashtra who earns her living by driving a taxi in tribal areas and aspires to study abroad will be soon going to the UK.

Kiran Kurma hails from Reguntha, a village in the Gadchiroli district that has been adversely affected by Naxal violence.

She has been awarded a scholarship worth Rs 40 lakhs, which she plans to utilize to pursue a one-year course in International Marketing Management at the University of Leeds.

Her aim is to secure a job in a company in the UK for a period of two years, after which she plans to return to her hometown.

The grant money will be given to her once all the formal processes are completed, expected to be by July 31.

Kiran Kurma, a resident of Reguntha village in Sironcha tehsil, holds a master’s degree in Economics from Osmania University, Hyderabad. To earn a living after completing her studies, she began driving a taxi on the 140 km route from Reguntha to Sironcha and back. Currently, she owns three taxis.

At the age of 27, she faced numerous challenges on her journey. Her family’s poor financial situation, the underdeveloped area she lived in, and the absence of adequate transportation were significant obstacles.

However, the only solace was the unwavering support of her family, who encouraged her and her two siblings to pursue education.

After completing her graduation from Osmania University, she moved to Delhi in search of a job. However, she had to return home urgently when her father was involved in an accident, as there was no one else to take care of the family.

Kurma went to Mumbai to meet Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to request financial assistance for her higher education expenses. At first, she was unsure and asked a friend for help to arrange the meeting.

Upon reaching Vidhan Bhawan, Kiran Kurma found that the Chief Minister was still in his office. She presented her application to him, and he promptly reached out to Sumant Bhange, the Secretary of the Social Welfare Department.

The Chief Minister instructed Kurma to proceed to the ministry, but before she could meet with the secretary, he had already sent the application to Bhange via WhatsApp.
