    "It doesn't matter how much and in which cause you are contributing. If you take a small step then it's also a big thing for the society. I am from Punjab and I have my own charity foundation so, whenever I have time, I make an effort to contribute towards girl's education.
     
     
    "In my village, people still treat boys and girls differently so, I personally approach them and try to convince them that it is necessary that we educate our girls which will benefit the family itself in the long term."

    "So, I don't think you should be choosy when it comes to charity. You should contribute to the society in your own capacity which will help in the overall development of the country," she said.
