Meet Surya Sen Singh, a 31-year-old Mumbai resident who is working day and night to fulfil his duties towards his roots – his village in Uttar Pradesh. His mission? To make sure every child in rural UP gets the chance he/she deserves.

This National Day of the Girl Child, let’s get inspired by the possibilities visible in these pictures, challenge the stereotypes and mind-sets that keep girls out of school, and pledge to end gender disparity in education.

Having seen his sisters deprived of an education, this cab driver refused to let the same happen to his daughter. He now works two jobs and often sacrifices his sleep in his mission to educate his daughter.
