“That’s all? You mean to tell me that school will now cost us money? Out of the question! You should stop these dreams now,” he said angrily. No girl from Jamuna’s community had ever studied beyond Class 4. But she has other plans: she wants to go to college! As she grows, however, the possibility of being forced to drop out of school looms above her. Jamuna certainly has it in her to fight all odds, but will circumstances relent? Priti David plots the tough journey of a young girl who can never be sure of her future, yet won’t give up. this story is for the age group 10-15 years and is in partnership with People's Archive of Rural India.
