Sautai Bhobute, a Vidyadhan scholar, is a bright girl with an admirable sense of responsibility. When her widowed mother could not go out during the lockdown to sell fruits to support the family, Sautai took over the responsibility. She quickly learnt to stitch, and is now running a small tailoring business in her village – Sonyachi Shiroli, while preparing for NEET exams. She is doing it professionally as can be seen from the pictures of clothes stitched by her.
