Kumkum is a 10-year-old child who studies in 4th grade in a nearby school in her village in Madhya Pradesh, namely, Jhutawad.  The village is at a distance of 80 km from the Ujjain district where the majority of the population used to rely on agricultural activities for its sustenance until the struggle to make the ends meet called many families to migrate to nearby towns for better opportunities.  


Kumkum's family is among a few left in the agriculture business and all the members spend their major part of the day in the fields. Her family wants to see her getting a quality education.

Due to the COVID outbreak, the most immediate change that she witnessed was her annual exams getting canceled for which she had prepared a lot. Earlier, she was supported by her family members, then and now, through her course work but this soon came to an end when her aunt saw a dearth of resources to make her learn. Also, with the onset of the harvest season, the family was left without a moment to spare on her education.

86 percent of class 5 students are not able to perform basic division and this academic gap is increasing day by day.

Children like Kumkum deserve the best opportunities to access quality education. There's a big gap that the COVID outbreak has created.
