Nine years after Anitha’s death, the anti-NEET movement has found new momentum across the country, with her brother, S Manirathinam, firmly believing the battle she began in 2017 is far from over. In this interview, he remembers his beloved sister, her single-minded dream of becoming a doctor, and how he is carrying her fight forward.

With the rise of the CJP, the protests have now gone nationwide, extending to broader concerns over the education system.
