In Karnataka, free school education stops at class 7. Many poor families see no reason why their meager resources should be utilized on educating a girl which they view as something they will get no returns from. Aruna K. is one such child. Her father is a coolie and her mother works as a maid. After class 7 she would have dropped out of school taking care of home and siblings till she was married off. A life of want and drudgery would have been her future.
