Every single child deserves a right to basic education and I’m committed to ensuring that my journey of the last 7 years continues for the rest of my life to be able to make education a reality for the largest number in our country”

In her role as the Youth Advocate for Education, Sanjana is going to be dedicating her efforts to ensure access to education for girls, as 10 million young girls in India run the risk of dropping out of school owing to the COVID-19.
