Introducing, a daughter who pretends she can do anything to please her father who is worried about her life as she was diagnosed with polio at the age of two. Her determination gradually turned into a passion. Hence, she pursued a career chosen by a few women.

Childhood
As a child, she faced several difficulties during her journey to school and was unhappy that she could not go out with her friends and siblings.
Education
Nafeesathul Misriya, who was good at studies after her schooling, joined Victoria College, Palakkad, for her undergraduate course, but life started challenging her in the form of pneumonia. So she couldn’t finish it. But Nafeesathul was not ready to give up. Nafeesathul, who has enjoyed drawing since she was a child, enrolled in the two-year ITC draughtsman programme. She aspires to get a job after her studies.
Aim
She never let her disability or her suffering destroy her. She had an unwavering belief that her physical disabilities would not dampen her mental fortitude. She carries that assurance throughout her life.
KAM Builders
She began her career by drawing plans for the natives, which later took off. Soon after completing the course, her family and friends encouraged her to start a company which she named KAM Builders.
Temporary Job And Studies
Simultaneously, she got a contract job as a municipal employee in the Thrissur Corporation and also enrolled in civil engineering at Thrissur’s Maharaja Technological Institute. Nafeesathul started her morning with practical sessions in the college before going to her office. She attended class after work and reached the hostel at nine o’clock. After two and a half years, she decided to get married. Her husband encouraged her to come home every day. She had to take eight buses every day while pregnant with the polio-affected limb and even then, she didn’t stop working or her studies.
Minhaj Builders
After her delivery, she became active in her construction jobs. Thus she renamed her K M builders into the Minhaj group. In the midst, she was selected for some government jobs, but she wanted to pursue her career in construction work. She subsequently established offices in Thrissur and Palakkad. Additionally, she started Minhaj Cement Product in Parakulam. She has already finished 550 projects and more than 2000 plans. Her business is notable for its Vastu-based buildings.
