In a remote village of Madhya Pradesh, where even electricity is a privilege, a teenage girl named Meera is transforming lives—armed with just a blackboard and an unshakable belief in education.
🎒 Her Beginning
Meera was 16 when she realized her village children were dropping out due to the 6 km walk to school. Despite limited resources, she gathered a group under a banyan tree every evening and began teaching basic math, Hindi, and English.
🌾 The Obstacles
Parents were skeptical. Some asked, “Why should girls study?” Others feared sending kids outside after sunset. But Meera persisted. She created a safe space, got help from an NGO, and slowly started changing minds.
🌟 The Ripple Effect
Today, 35+ children attend her classes. Dropout rates have decreased. The state government has offered her a training scholarship. Meera dreams of becoming a teacher and opening a real school someday.
Lesson: Age doesn’t limit impact. Passion does.
