Ashwini Doddalingappanavar was 15-years-old when her parents started discussing her marriage. Hailing from a small village called
Kurugovinakoppa in the Hubballi region of Karnataka, it was an uphill task for the young girl to complete her education, join the Meghshala Trust, and become a changemaker in her own right. With every step, there was a hurdle to cross, stereotypes to break, and mindsets to change.
In just two-and-a-half years, Ashwini, now 23, and her work has been featured in Lenovo’s
New Realities Project, that gives a voice to 10 amazing women who are changing the world and using technology to drive empathy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
