Father’s Occupation: Labourer
Mother’s Occupation: Housewife
F’s mother is illiterate and at home her life involves
household chores and going out into the fields to work alongside her mother.
When Fgoes back to her village, she is able to notice a difference between the
girls who have been given an opportunity to be educated and those who have not.
From this she believes that education is what makes a difference to a woman’s
confidence, given the knowledge and future prospects it enables. F feels it
should not be restricted to just academic subjects, and she values the classes
she receives in Women’s health which address neglected and yet very important
issues like anaemia.
At the Veerni Institute, F loves to sit chatting with her
friends or reading more about science, which is her favourite subject. She is
an intelligent girl who does very well in her studies and while she is a child
bribe, she expresses a determination to retain some level of independence by
entering the workforce as a policewoman.
