Talking about her visit, Priyanka said in a video, “Right now, I am in Lucknow, India with UNICEF. I am really looking forward to this field visit.”
“I have spent a few of my childhood years at school in Lucknow, I have family and friends here. And I am keen to understand how the needle has shifted for women and children in the state of Uttar Pradesh. I want to see first-hand how technology and innovation is making that shift at a (larger) scale. Across India gender inequality results in unequal opportunities, and it is the girls that are most disadvantaged,” Priyanka added.
