Priyanka poses for a picture with Razia Sultana (on her right) who, at just 15, is the recipient of a special United Nations award for helping 50 young girls like her go to school.
The actress also congratulated Meenum (on her right), who lives in Madhya Pradesh. Meenum was the first girl from her village to go to school and persuaded her friends' parents to let them all go.
This little girl is one of a group of young tribal girls from Jharkhand who braved extraordinary odds to participate and place third in an international football competition.
