In a parking lot near Lal Qila, Delhi, 18-year-old Sakshi teaches children after her own educational journey began in the same spot. Having migrated from Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, her family struggled with education; her father is illiterate and her mother, Poona Bai, earns about ₹10,000 to ₹11,000 monthly as a housemaid.
