Ashoka India Youth Venturer Kritika Kumar of Halt Thal

Dancers morph. They understand how to use their body and mind to bring to stage (life or proscenium) harmony and rhythm- taal. This young lady is articulate and expresses her concern on a very specific issue Thalassemia, and over the years in college gave herself the permission to work on something that concerns herself deeply- the social burden of someone who suffers from thalassemia, their restricted lives and the lack of awareness amongst any section of the populace in our country. Halt Thal aims at creating a nationwide movement. She has connected with over 3 hospitals and 15 NSS units of colleges to conduct blood donation drives and test young people for this blood related disorder. Poised and well in harmony with her concern, Kritika pursues her work with the agility of her first act in the begining of the film.
