The auto-rickshaw was gifted by a relative and after training for a month, i started ferrying passengers, Jhansi said.
Jhansi drives nearly 20 kms a day from 3 pm to 6 pm after college hours. Jhansi said 'i face a lot of teasing and male counterparts pass comments everyday but i manage with my strong determination.'
Apart from parents, landlord Chittaranjan Mohapatra (a bank employee) and Arun Dutta (lecturer) supported me a lot, she said.
