Basha's family thinks he might have fallen sick due to working on the construction site. His gall bladder was removed and the bile from his pancreas slowly started damaging his pancreas. Pancreatitis is when the pancreas is severely inflamed. It is a painful, dangerous condition that needs immediate medical help.
Basha's parents Hanumantu and Sarojini are daily-wage workers who work in farms near their village Motapuram, Telangana. Together, they are able to earn Rs 150 per day but their work is seasonal dependant on agriculture. In a year, they earn Rs 40,000 and they used up all their resources to get their children Basha and Satish educated.

Basha had taken admission to a college and even bought his books. But after just 10 days, he had to dropout to find a job.
Because of Basha's decision, his parents were able to get medical treatment and his younger brother and sister completed their education. Basha's younger brother Satish has graduated and now wants to write state-service exams. But now, Satish might have to take up his brother's old job to save him.

We don't have any source ofincome at the moment and I can't wait to find a good job. I must take what I get so at least we have some money,” explains Satish.
