Most of the people, including Jhulima\u2019s family members, depend upon agriculture, daily wage and collection of non-timber forest produces for sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other child in her community, Jhulima had dropped out from school when she was in 10th standard to support her family income. However, after being counseled by Swati, a local development organization, she resumed her studies through open schooling and has appeared for the high school final examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from resuming her own studies, she inspired other girls to rejoin schools. Besides, he also started working with other volunteers to stop early marriage which is largely practiced in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradually, Jhulima acquired the skill to lead the mission of educating the local girls. Her efforts have seen many dropouts returning to school and several parents refraining from marrying off their daughters at early ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As child marriages are quite rampant in her area, Jhulima attempted to fight against this social evil in an organised way through girls\u2019 group which became a threat for her life. But she never got feared by such threats. In last two years, she has prevented 12 child marriages. To spread the message of ill effects of early marriage, she has formed a cultural troupe with the help of local adolescent girls to spread message on such social issues like those related to child rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jhulima stopped several child marriages, brought many dropout girls back to school&nbsp; By Swagatika Bhutia BHUBANESWAR, DEC. 7: Jhulima Mallick, a 21-year-old girl hailing from Bandudi village in Odisha\u2019s Kandhamal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
