Like several students, even Sehar Atwal (12), a student of Gems Cambridge International School, Hoshiarpur, was dejected when the schools did not open for the second time in a row. She was one among the countless children who had to lose out on the camaraderie as well as a structured curriculum for students at school. But she chose to make a difference and let the lockdown count.
Sehar, a gifted artist, who had always been interested in craft activities, took to canvas painting during the lockdown times. She channelised her energy into art since the onset of lockdown in March 2020 has painted more than 100 paintings in diverse shades.

World leaders were on Wednesday urged to encourage millions of girls into education to help transform their lives and boost national economies. With 100 days until the UK and Kenya host the Global Education Summit, the two nations reminded people of the event’s bold ambitions. Britain’s foreign office and Prime Minister Boris Johnson championed the education of girls as the key to preventing exploitation and unlocking their potential.
“In the next five years, the UK wants to see 40 million more girls in school and 20 million more girls reading by the time they are 10,” the foreign office said in a tweet on Wednesday.
