DivyaPriyadarshni, a 24-year-old chemistry postgraduate from Bihar went the extra mile to provide education to the children of extremely underprivileged backgrounds in her nearby localities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning from life\u2019s catastrophes, Divya was well aware of the struggles faced by the girls of lower-middle-class families. Born in a patriarchal society, from an early age, Divya faced all those difficulties that are encountered by any other girl in Indian society. However, she did not lose hope and continued fighting for the rights of every child \u2013 the right to education for a better life. Her struggles gave her the strength and compassion to strive for girls with a similar fate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the early age of 12 years, Divya started educating extremely underprivileged children living around her residential area and continued that for the next three years.

Apart from that, Divya also organized a workshop where she discussed making the schools of the Jhunjhunu district in Rajasthan ready for innovation based on life and entrepreneurship skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Divya is currently working on a project named SPOT-ON with two of her friends – Ankit Pandey and Abhay Kumar Ojha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The mission of this project is to help existing SHGs (Self Help Group) to produce sanitary napkins in micro-units and providing them the required raw materials, access to finance and subsidies, and maintenance services for that purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This project received instant appreciation in the neighborhood and by govt.
