A 11-year-old girl in Rajkot has embarked on a novel approach to spread awareness about female foeticide in Gujarat.

Jolly Shah, a resident of Jamnagar, left people in Rajkot flabbergasted on Saturday by driving a scooty (mini scooter) and covering 15 kilometers blindfolded!

The standard six student Jolly drew a lot of people as she passed through the roads of Rajkot while appealing to people to save the girl child.

She drove along the main thoroughfares like Dr. Yagnik Road, Race Course Road, Ring Road and Palace Road, as a number of people watched her dare devil performance with astonishment.

She wanted to draw public attention over the female foeticide issue.

The young girl, who claims herself to be the youngest female magician of India, feels strongly about the problem of female foeticide. She has been associated with this campaign for quite some time and is encouraged by public response to her endeavour against a social problem.

"I have been doing this kind of road shows for over two years in various villages and cities in Gujarat, blindfolded with a green cloth and then covering a Naqab on my face. I am sure my message will go well in the society with this gesture of mine. And I will also ask everyone to save the girl child which I consider is very important campaign needed for our society," said Jolly Shah, the little magician.
