Frail farmer’s wife Omkari Panwar had the boy and girl after undergoing IVF treatment because she and her husband had been desperate for a son and heir.
Proud husband Charan Singh, 77, said they gave up everything for the £5,000 treatment using donated eggs.
He sold his buffalos, took out loans and spent his life savings — but said last night: “A son makes it all worthwhile.”
The children, each weighing 2.6lbs, were whisked to incubators at a specialist hospital before their mum woke after the Caesarean op — but doctors said they were healthy.
Mum Omkari added: “If I am the world’s oldest mother it means nothing to me. I just want to care for my new babies while I am still able. We have got an heir — that is all we ever wanted.”
