Govt's policy has been missing a key component namely the note book ! We have seen that textbooks,uniforms are given free, but not the notebooks. Sometimes it is understandable funding reasons. This is where NGO's pitch in. One such initiative was undertaken by India Sudar Trust. We did a drive last weekend to 10 rural villages in Karnataka. We targetted 1400+ kids on one day !! Was great pleasure for us ! Please see the report below.
Thanks shiva
