Girl Stars - Krishna the Teacher

Video Info

Description:

Krishna Bagel is a primary school teacher in a Government School in Tikaria Village, Mandla District, Madhya Pradesh, India. Krishna was the only girl in her village to complete her grade 12 education; all the other girls of her age dropped out of school because the secondary school was too far away to walk to it was in another town. The Girl Stars project includes this series of films documenting the stories of girls from the most disadvantaged communities across five northern states of India who, through attaining education, have managed to break the shackles of socio economic constraints and make successful, self sufficient lives for themselves. These young women have become role models in their communities and beyond, inspiring girls to go to school and continue their education.
