An 11-year-old girl named Geeta, along with her family has been striving to seek help from the government to get prosthetic feet in central India's Chhattisgarh on June 11. The incident took place in Chhura in the Gariaband district.

Visuals feature Geeta using steel glasses as her feet to settle her problems and lead a normal life all while her family seeks relief from the justice system and the administration to help their child achieve her dreams. However, after days of struggle, the officials extend their helping hands towards the little girl and provide her an electric tricycle and fix an artificial design on her leg to help her walk freely. In the meantime, happiness oozes out of Geeta's face as she can finally go to school without many tussles.

Geeta was born without feet in a poverty-stricken family and was financially striving and seeking aid from the government to get an electric tricycle and prosthetic feet. Following this, the officials in the justice system once gave them hope and a possibility of a better future by giving her a tricycle, even though she required a battery-operated one, to get rid of the circumstance and did not support her afterward.

The family struggled initially but soon got the hang of it as Geeta fabricated feet out of steel glasses and managed to walk with it. She even walked for 3 km (1.8 miles) to reach school, did her household chores by herself, and quit looking out for help to improve her condition

The financial condition of the family remained the same and her father, Deviram Gond, reached out to the administration and their various schemes to get a new life for their daughter as they were unable to bear the brunt of their sinking finances.

However, when the matter came forward and people urged for support, the officials provided the girl an electric tricycle and artificial feet for makeshift purposes to assure her well-being and help her accomplish her dream of becoming a teacher in the future.
