Early Life and Education
She completed her school finals at Kanya Pathasala, the only school in Gaya in the early 1930s and 1940s to provide education to girls. At that time it was not customary for a girl, particularly in a small town like Gaya, to continue education beyond high school level. However, with the support of her father, Umacharan Tarway, a school teacher turned business tycoon, Tarway continued her study and obtained a degree from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. This was a natural choice, due to the rail link between Gaya and Varanasi, both on the Grand Chord section of the Indian Railways.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“I was by degrees awakened as from a dream, and feared that my whole life could properly be counted nothing else but a fantastic vision.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
