The hardship taught her the value of life and made her think beyond the situation.

Became a Post Graduate Teacher
To meet the basic requirements of her family, Jyothi started working as an agricultural laborer for 5 Rupees a day and continued working from 1986 to 1989. Jyothi would mostly work in the fields and struggled to find a job in off seasons. Her tumultuous life changed the day when Nehru Yuvak Kendra (NYK) founded a night school with the intention of providing basic education for the villagers.

After being appointed there, Jyothi had to visit all the centers of the Warangal district and there she realized the importance of education. and she went on to completing her graduation and post graduation from Ambedkar Open University.
