The girls assembled in a classroom and began making their demands. “We want a library, a reading room and a sports centre reserved for girls. We have no place to go where we feel safe,” said one of the girls as Anant Maringanti of Hyderabad Urban Labs jotted down their demands.
“I want to go to a library to learn about what opportunities await people like me,” said one of the girls. And just like that, a social intervention to improve the quality of life for people living in the Mir Alam Tank periphery, is unfolding near the man-made lake created on June 8, 1806.
“We have a Memorandum of Understanding with the State government to help upscale the living conditions of people in the area and we are working with the community to understand their needs,” said Mr. Maringanti.
