Mukesh Kumar, in-charge of Sahaspur’s Adarsh Vidya Mandir, says, “Girls are highly disadvantaged in our village. They lack nutrition, education, access to health and work opportunities. As an educator, I have always wanted to do something to address this imbalance. My students (twenty five in number) and I plan to encourage girls to study and attend school. We will not achieve instant results but we are determined to try.”
