Did you know that Kerala didn’t have a woman ambulance driver until now? In the account of International Women’s Day, the Kerala Government has appointed the state’s first woman ambulance driver.
Deepamol from Kerala’s Kottayam has had a driving career spanning decades. She has worked as a driving school instructor, taxi driver, and tipper lorry driver over the past few years. In fact, in 2021, she took a solo bike trip from Kottayam to Ladakh in 16 days.
