By this plan the channel wants to support education and empowerment of the girl child.. a cause close to the celebrities' life. During the event, beauty queen opened up saying, "It's time to raise our voice against illiteracy and inequality. I support girl's education with all my heart. We all need to stand up to fight all obstacles that come in the way of our daughters' education. The least we can do is to communicate the significance of education and empowerment of our country's daughters."
This program will be screened as the channel's 'Megadoc', 'He Named Me Malala' which is a critically acclaimed documentary on Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousufzai. She was the one who braved bullets to further the cause of girls' education and standing up for girls' rights. The channel sources say that, every month, the 'Megadoc' will feature a documentary of global significance.
