Sangitaben's parents migrated from Sindh to Gujarat in 1972. She was the first child, and has two younger brothers. Her father farms and does tailoring. Sangitaben was not particularly fond of school -especially English and math. Now, she says, she sees the value of education. Sangitaben learned embroidery from her mother when she was 12. She specifically learned for earning. She has worked for Shrujan. Her mother is member of a savings group in Bidada.

"Embroidery is our identity, our name," Sangitaben says. "It will increase if we try to keep it new." Good design is new, she feels. Sangitaben has many dreams. She wants to make a name for herself, have a good house, and work together. She has come to KRV because she likes to learn, and she believes the course will help her take embroidery forward.
