Door Step School– Empowering Women Mrs. SushmaRanwade With DSS Since : 2000 (Joined as book fairy) Current position : Field Coordinator “Though I had passed my 10th standard, I had never even read newspaper regularly. Seeing so many books in one place was itself a treat for me. In 2004 when promoted to the post of Supervisor I faced another challenge that of venturing out in different parts of the city independently. But this helped in boosting my confidence. Ample support from my colleagues and family has helped me in my journey from a book fairy to a Coordinator. The inspiration to complete my graduation in Arts was also courtesy my colleagues. I can now also drive a two wheeler on the city streets.” DOOR STEP SCHOOL-PUNE
