An 18-year-old rickshaw driver, Arti, received the Amal Clooney Women’s Empowerment Award.
She was honoured for inspiring other young girls through her work under the government’s Pink e-rickshaw initiative.
Under the Project Lehar, Prince’s Trust International and the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) introduced Arti to the Indian government’s Pink E-Rickshaw scheme.
Under this initiative, pink e-rickshaws were provided by the Bahraich district administration with a subsidy for women drivers.
She also met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in London.
The Prince’s Trust International was founded by King Charles III when he was the Prince of Wales.
