Education is the most important enabler that provides quality and sustainability to one’s life. In India and Bengal, despite many positive changes since independence and the recent introduction of the Right to Education act, challenges exist for the marginal and socioeconomically underprivileged to avail high-quality education. We have identified and built partnerships with a few distinguished and highly reputed nonprofits in and around Kolkata to make a difference in the education of these underprivileged communities.
