A 6-min film about the changing milk economy in Haryana by Amit Kumar in On Eating. Amit is still a student, and this is possibly his first film. I do not know how many times I've watched it -- it's that kind of film, moving, in a language of the heart.

A bihar state school has 2 teachers, cook & 1 pupil... sad symptom of rampant growth of private schools. Touching they kept it running. Our @IWMI_ surveys from N. Bihar suggested a significant share of cash sent by migrants is absorbed by education costs
