'Education gives you the power of expression;
it gives you the confidence to tell people what you feel.'
- Krishna Bagel, Government Primary School Teacher

Krishna Bagel is a primary school teacher in a Government School in Tikaria Village, Mandla District, Madhya Pradesh. Krishna was the only girl in her village to complete her grade 12 education; all the other girls of her age dropped out of school because the secondary school was too far away to walk to. Krishna grew up knowing she had a lot to prove, and so she volunteered as night school teacher in a Government program to educate adults. Krishna did this job so well, that she was offered the job of the Government School Teacher in her village. Krishna is 25 years old.
