Santosh was born in a society where the birth of a son was regarded as a blessing, and a daughter, though not considered a curse, was not generally welcomed.She was born in the small village of Joniya(Rewari District) in Haryana.
Many difficulties were faced by Santosh, especially when her age was sixteen.At sixteen, most of the girls in her village used to get married. Santosh was also under pressure from her parents to do the same. She threatened her parents that she would never marry if she did not get a proper education. She left home and got herself enrolled in a school in Delhi. When her parents refused to pay for her education, she politely informed them of her plans to earn money by working part time to pay her school fees.
