A few months ago, life was not as good for 15-year-old Leela Kumari as it is today. “A sudden set of events in the form of my marriage plans had threatened to completely derail my dreams and push my life towards an era of complete darkness,” she says, while putting her books in bag to go to her village school early morning. She now wants to become a teacher and is now leading a campaign against the menace that has some social acceptability in this part of country.
