My mother Mrs. Swati Shinde is Assistant Commissioner of GST in Pune. She is an inspiration because she struggled to achieve this position. She studied graduate after marriage despite all odds. She got married at 18 when she was studying, still did not leave her education and completed MA and MeD. She worked as a teacher in Indore, MP and started preparing for MPSC exam. She left her daughter at her mother's place to study for it. It was not an easy journey as things were different as of now, there was no support from husband & in laws. She did it alone handling house and her daughter, there was nobody to look after her daughter so she left her daughter at her mother's place for some days.
The journey was very hard because studying, working to meet daily needs and handling a daughter.
Today she has completed 30yrs in GST Department and has received many rewards for her work.
