Haryana does not have the best reputation when it comes to gender ratio. A 31-year-old sarpanch is striving to make a difference to the state. Neelam is a woman and a spirited sarpanch of the village Chhappar in Haryana.

YouTube channel Sortedd TV spoke to her about her experience as a woman sarpanch in Haryana. Neelam first became popular in the village when she waged a war against the 'ghoonghat', or the veil, that suffocated her. She was frowned upon and there was a lot of resistance from her in-laws as she decided to shun this age-old practice in the village.

Watch her talk about how she wants her village to progress. 'You don't need big talks to bring change, all you need is a woman to stand for another one,' is the message the video has for all the women in India.
