Nandini Sharma is a 22-year-old studying Pashto at JNU. She comes from a small town near Patna, Bihar where her father, who works as a farmer, earns barely enough to support his three children. Nandini manages to meet her daily expenses with what she gets from home, aided by what she earns working after classes. For Nandini, and many others like her, the recent fee hike could mean the end of their education at the university.
