Nalbari Woman Builds Meji Alone, Inspires Community

In Assam, a young woman named Harshita Devi built a special structure called a Meji all by herself.

Normally, people in her village build this together, but Harshita wanted to do it alone.

She made it look like a boat because she always wanted to travel by boat but never could.

She collected reeds, designed it, and built it in five days.

People in her village are amazed because she didn't go to school or get any training.

She also makes and sells traditional sweets to earn money.

Harshita's hard work and creativity have inspired everyone in her village.
