Mittal Patel

Real Youth

For more than 300 nomadic communities of Gujarat, Mittal Patel is a God send. Just 30 years old, this former journalism student has been working for the past five years for the rights of these nomads who till recently were not even recognized by the government. She's started tent schools for their children, got them land rights and single handedly got 20,000 nomads across communities voter ID cards.
