In a story that’s part grit, part grace — climate activist Licypriya Kangujam has come forward to sponsor the entire medical education of a young woman named Racy, who drives an e-rickshaw in Moirang Khoiru to support her family.
This isn’t charity. It’s recognition — of courage, ambition, and what it really means to fight for your future.
Who is Racy?
Racy is no ordinary student. She’s a determined young woman from Moirang Khoiru who took on the unconventional role of an e-rickshaw driver to financially support her family — all while nurturing her dream of studying medicine.
The Support She Needed — and Received
Moved by her story and her unflinching willpower, Licypriya Kangujam announced she would cover 100% of Racy’s medical education costs — including tuition, books, and essentials.
“Girls like Racy don’t need sympathy — they need opportunity. And I’m honored to be a small part of her journey,” Licypriya said.
The Bigger Picture
This act of support goes beyond one person. It shines a light on:
The quiet strength of countless women like Racy
The role of solidarity among Manipuri youth
The idea that success doesn’t wait for perfect conditions — it grows in resistance
