Where is a will, there is a way: This husband proves by covering 1,150 km on scooter for wife's exam However, his will power dominated the financial crisis and to fulfil his wife's dream to be a teacher, Dhananjay took the risk of driving his pregnant wife on a scooter by covering 1,150 km.
Sharing his experience, Dhananjay said, "After we informed about her examination date, I was seeking for a bus ticket but due to the COVID-19 pandemic they charged Rs 30,000 for two travellers which at present is impossible for me to spend. Then I looked for the train, but in the end, the train got cancelled. Finding no other way, I took the ride from Godda to Gwalior city."

The couple had to mortgage their possessions to spend money on fuel and food during the three-day-long journey.
While speaking to ETV Bharat, Soni Majhi said, "It was really tough for me to continue a three-day-long journey on a two-wheeler as I am pregnant. Besides the roads were not good and it was raining, with a minimum amount of food and other resources it was really hard to complete the whole journey".
Dhananjay who was unemployed for three months set an example for the society by taking a step ahead to support his wife in her dream of empowerment.
