Children

From filing a petition against pollution-causing nations, inventing a landslide detection device, raising lakhs for the elderly, helping farmers increase their income to giving a dignified life to ragpickers, here are 10 youngsters who are shaping a better future.

Such small inconveniences have a dramatic effect on the quality of life of senior citizens. And every little change helps!

"We used to complain about food so much. But now, I have learnt to be more grateful and show gratitude", says 17-year-old Mira. #Respect #HungerHeroes

It has taken 20 years to hit 2 lakh children. But they are all out there – rescuing, protesting and standing up for what’s right!

Food for marginalised kids. Schooling and toilets for underprivileged girls. Skill training for village women — successful women from different fields come together at SIC to make all this possible!

"If their kids fall sick, the impoverished families do not visit even a government hospital. They fear that if they skip work for the hospital visit, they would lose the day’s wages and the entire family has to go hungry."

Be it scorching heat or torrential rains, they are assured that their ‘son’ will send them lunch and dinner, without fail. Be it a medical emergency or the simple wish to go on a short trip - they know Deb Kumar is just a call away! #Respect

And this isn’t the first time! Eleven years ago, she had donated her gold bangles to help three young children get their dead mother’s body released. #Respect #RealLifeHero
