21-year-old Bharti is from Dhanbad, the coal capital of India. Before joining Video Volunteers, she was working as a teacher at a sewing centre run by an NGO. Her inclination towards social work and fighting for community rights came early. At a young age, she joined protests against Koleri mines that came up near her village. Having seen the areas in and around Dhanbad up close, Bharti wants to expose the underbelly of India's development story, and especially the story of her community. She also feels that government employment schemes have not delivered all that they have promised and wants to tackle the issue through her videos.
