Shreshtha decided to use her prowess in roller skating, which she had learned when in ClassIII, to launch a campaign opposing discrimination against the girl child. "Don't kill your girls. Send your daughters to school.May be, one of them will become Kalpana Chawla or Sania Mirza or Kiran Bedi . If not that, she can at least become like me," she tells the crowd that gathers to see the little girl travelling on roller skates.
Shreshtha has, so far, skated for over 250 kms (by now, at a young age of 9, shehas won 95 national level -- of which 70 are gold -- medals) on pot-holed roads to spread her message. On her 115 kms. trip from Morena to Bhind, she stopped at over one hundred villages. There were 20 stopovers in the Morena-Agra yatra. She is now planning a 200 kms. odyssey from Sabalgarh to Bhind. A local social service organisation called "Sanjivani" takes care of the pre-publicity for her skating journeys. So far, over 20 thousand handbills have been distributed by Shreshtha and her team appealing to parents to let their daughters live and study. "I will be happy if our daughter's effort save even one girl child peryatra", say Shreshtha's parents.
