Education

Having a solid education creates a safer world to live in. Education is the difference between being an informed, enlightened individual and being incapable of discerning what is wrong from what is right.  We advocate for access to education irrespective of gender, caste and religion. It is a vital need that paves the way for people. Its merits are both societal and individual. Educated society are civic involved.
