“It all started long before; in my childhood. My Grandfather was “SARPANCH” of a village. I grew up hearing various stories of his royal deeds and helpful nature; how he helped poor farmers in digging wells, how he took an initiative in building a school, and more. Doing something good for others without expecting anything but the betterment of those is a deepvoted thought.
Then in my school and college days I got the chance to see this thought and cherish and implemented. My Uncle was a well- known advocate and an active Worker of RSS. He was in Central Government Service. He guided and nourished my thinking towards child education. I personally worked towards child education for many years during my stay in Bhilai {Chattisgarh}. I helped the tribal people the basic knowledge about health, child education, sanitation, by providing stationary, guidline books, arranged classes for child education, to empower children and society.
