Tara Banjara (18), Nimdi Village, Alwar-Rajasthan

​

Tara is a first-generation learner from the Banjara community, a nomadic community in Rajasthan, who at the age of 7 worked in road cleaning and construction. She is not just the first girl, but the first child in her community to complete her schooling and pursue higher secondary education. She even prevented her younger sister’s child marriage and convinced her family to send her sister to school. She has been an active member in her community spreading awareness on the issues of child labour, trafficking and child marriage and is now training herself to be a police officer by running 10 kms everyday at 4:00 am in the morning.
