May A Million Buds Bloom by Nitya Manoj Kumar
“The book ‘May A Million Buds Bloom’, through a combination of storytelling and visual art, offers readers a thought provoking and soul stirring glimpse into what change looks like beyond mere numbers.” - Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group
May A Million Buds Bloom is a visual and narrative exploration of the transformative journeys of girls supported by Project Nanhi Kali. The book is authored by Nitya Manoj Kumar, a student and passionate photographer.
Over three summers, Nitya travelled to interact with Nanhi Kalis all over the country, joined them in their classrooms, on the playground, at their homes, at the village square, on public transport, striving to capture the true impact of Project Nanhi Kali on these girls. Nitya started her work on this book with the conviction that the true impact of Project Nanhi Kali lies in these intangible seeds of transformation – which cannot be counted, touched or measured, but only felt, and experienced.
The Teen Age Girls Survey (TAG Report)- 2018
With a tenth of the global population of adolescent girls, India is home to the largest and youngest workforce in the world today. Having reached this pivotal demographic point in our economic and political history, the investment in our girls, their health and well-being, their education and skilling, their productivity, economic potential and leadership are a key national priority.
In our quest for understanding what it means to be a teenage girl in India, we realised they did not feature as the key respondent group in any large-scale database. This prompted Naandi Foundation to conduct a survey - the Teen Age Girls Survey (TAG Report) that reached over 70,000 households across 600 districts in 30 states of India.
What did this TAG Report(Teen Age Girls Survey) tell us about our girls?
What is the nation’s ‘report card’ on lives of teenage girls?
What are their dreams and aspirations?
What are their fears and hardships?
