A Visit That Changed Everything:
In December 2024, I returned to my childhood village in southern India and visited my old elementary school. I was heartbroken to see children learning without computers, internet, or basic educational resources.
Determined to make a difference, I donated a computer, projector, and high-speed internet connection to the school. By January 2025, the village celebrated the opening of its first digital classroom. Seeing the children’s excitement and the community’s gratitude inspired me to do more.
I founded Shikshana Seva Foundation to bring digital education to rural schools across India. Our mission is to equip 100 rural schools by 2028, providing each with a computer, projector, and internet access.
With your support, we can bridge the digital divide and give children the tools to learn, dream, and build a brighter future—one classroom at a time.
Thank you.
