Amrat Jumani is the only science teacher at three government girls’ schools in Mithi, Tharparkar’s largest town. And so, in Tharparkar, Jumani is an odd one out, being one of the few science teachers in the district. A graduate of the University of Sindh, Jamshoro, she is the only science teacher at three girls' schools in Mithi, namely Government Girls School North Colony, Government Girls School West Colony and Government Girls School Dharmani Colony. Shivani, who says he is inspired by the way Jumani teaches, sees her as a "beacon of hope for girls in Tharparkar", where there is a dearth of science teachers. Bachal further states that most girls' schools in the district are located in main cities and there is no girls' high school in remote areas.
