educate underprivileged children

When the pandemic forced schools to shut, Professor Angshuman Thakur took education outdoors, transforming the lives of over 100 tribal children in West Bengal.

Ch Nageshu Patro, hailing from Odisha’s Ganjam district, left school because of poverty. Determined to prevent other children from facing the same situation, he worked as a coolie at night and established a free coaching centre for underprivileged kids.

To help children in Delhi’s slums escape a life of crime and labour, police constable Than Singh runs Than Singh ki Pathshala, a free school where he teaches more than 80 children to help them further enrol in government schools.
