The ₹12,000 that decides whether she takes the seat
About this initiative
A government junior college seat costs almost nothing. Getting to it costs a great deal: hostel fees, a trunk, bedding, a calculator, bus passes, exam fees, a smartphone for the online components. For a family earning ₹70,000 a year, that is the difference between a daughter continuing and a daughter working.
