Knowledge is Power

The most common three word quote that we have grown up with has so much of the life’s philosophy in it. Knowing and learning from our surroundings is Knowledge. And Education is a systematic and step by step form of attaining Knowledge about the world. Education reveals the facts of the world fold after fold from its basic aspects to the most complex forms.

Thus Education influences us towards giving rightful thinking, and hence of being a good citizen. A country with good citizens, with rightful thoughts is its highly priced assets who lend to the progress of the nation.

The onus is now on us to provide our nation with such good citizens which, we believe, is possible by ensuring education to every child of the nation or at the least every child that we know in our near surroundings. An initiative such as this, by people who feel a responsibility towards the nation for its progress, can make a lasting contribution to the society.

Contribution by building the capacities of the meritorious but poor children by continuing support to access quality education till +2 level, which will also address the issue of drop outs and hence child labor at grass root level. A contribution towards poverty proofing the next generation.
