Odisha to felicitate CCI adolescent girls who stopped their own child marriages; districts must submit cases by Aug 15, ensuring privacy and child protection norms.
I was seventeen when the first marriage proposal arrived at my house. I still remember that day. I had just come home from school and my mind was focused on the exam I had the following week. As always, my textbooks were scattered across the floor of my room. My whole world revolved around getting good grades to get into university, become a journalist, and build the future I had imagined for myself since I was a child.
