The 30-year-old Pooja from the Kathua district was not well educated but she wanted to be a professional driver from her childhood. Further, she added that she wanted to drive big and bulky vehicles.
“I always wanted to become a bus or truck driver. I always dreamt of driving heavy vehicles since I was a kid and come from a very poor family. My father was a farmer. My family wasn’t able to educate me, but I decided to take up driving as a career,” said Pooja.
But her family including her husband didn’t want her to be a driver. Her husband said that a bus driving job is not suitable for women. But Pooja followed her dream and now she is the first J&K female bus driver.
“Initially, I used to drive cars, then I became a driving instructor at a driving school. I also used to drive taxis. Then, I decided to drive heavy vehicles. Rajinder Singh Ji taught me about truck driving. I’m very grateful to him. There was a time when I felt that no one would give me a bus to drive. But Jammu-Kathua Bus Union reposed faith in me,” she added.
Now pooja has emerged as a role model for other women encouraging them to follow their own dreams. Only because of her women today can consider driving as a profession.
Higher authority government officials such as Union Minister Jitendra Singh and Deputy Commissioner of Kathua tweeted and appreciated her move.
Going against her family and husband was hard for pooja but slowly and gradually she followed her dream work.
