My Story

Shavneet likes going to school and looks up to her mother as her role model. Her parents are working hard to raise both of the siblings. Shavneet's father works as a helper at a welder's shop, earning close to $200 a month. At the same time, the mother stays home to look after the children. They own the house, which has been rebuilt after the previous house had collapsed. Now they owe over two lakh to banks which were taken out to build the house. Being a higher caste, they are not eligible for some of the government grants.
