About this Gallery

It is said that ‘There is no age to learn something and if you have the passion, you can accomplish the desired goal’. This statement holds true for these aged women with strong desire and child-like heart of Phangane village in Murbad district, which is 150km away from Mumbai. These grannies are taking ‘age no bar’ statement to next level by studying at the age of 55 to 90 years in a school run by local zilla parishad teacher and activist Yogendra Bangar.
