Gadag, Jul 27: Saraswati Lamani, daughter of a farmer, has shown to the world that if one has grit and determination, he or she can overcome any obstacles, physical or mental in life. Lamani lives in Adarahalli Tanda of Lakshmeshwara taluk of the district.

She shoulders the responsibility of the agricultural based family after her father met with an accident and is bedridden. None of her brothers took the responsibility of agricultural and household work but she does all. She has taken the role of eldest son in the family.

Saraswati, who left school in sixth grade, knows all agriculture-related work. Her father Maruti Lamani lost his nerve strength after a bike accident. Though Maruti has two sons, they are of no use to the family. Out of two daughters, one is married. Hence, Saraswati takes care of her father as well as the agriculture.

She wants to remain a spinster as she wants to take care of her father. When her father raises the matter of marriage, she gets angry and warns that she will leave the house and go away. Her family, which has three acres of land in Adaralli Thanda, feels that Saraswati is a blessing from God.
