Millions of children across India are child labourers. Deprived of their basic rights, they endure difficult circumstances, without access to even their most basic rights. They work impossible hours, with each one, losing sight of their hopes and dreams. Plan India has worked to change this. This film speaks of children across India, whose lives have been transformed by programmes designed to rescue, rehabilitate and empower children to wield their own rights, and fulfil their potential.

With a mission of empowering girls and helping them gain equal opportunity and economic self reliance through education, eminent women achievers like Indra Nooyi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anu Aga, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Kirthiga Reddy and Shobhaa De amongst others, joined Plan India's 'Because I am a Girl' campaign. To add more strength and to enhance the reach of 'Because I am a Girl' project, Plan India along with its eminent ambassadors announced the launch of the fundraiser app - 'Educate a Girl'.

Plan India's young girl changemakers from #DigitalMitra program have created a video on how education can equip girls with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their lives and helps them break free from poverty and discrimination. Educated girls are more likely to participate in the workforce, contribute to the economy, and provide a better life for themselves and their families. The video has been conceptualized and created by the #DigitalMitra as an effort to amplify girls’ voices through storytelling.
