A kid with an inquisitive mind, likes taking initiatives in the class activities and in his quirky self said that he loves coming to Shiksha Rath, because it is fun.
We are talking about CHETAN!
Chetan is an enthusiastic, naughty yet adorable five years old boy studying in a government school. He is in nursery class and with an inquisitive mind he always asks questions about new things he sees or finds.
Chetan is taking after school lessons in Shiksha Rath. He is improving a lot in his studies. Initially Chetan use to be a little unruly but after being regularly taught how good children behave; positive changes in his behavior are seen like paying attention to the teachers and doing his work without being reminded. He likes taking initiatives in the class activities and in his quirky self said that he loves coming to Shiksha Rath, because it is fun.
Chetan’s parents said they made a good decision by sending him to Shiksha Rath because they can see that he is improving in his studies and is showing improvement in his manners too.
Chetan’s parents came to Delhi from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh in search of jobs. They have been staying in the slum of Outram Lines, Delhi for the past eight years. Chetan has a three year old younger brother. Chetan’s father rides horse chariot for ceremonies and his mother is a house maid. His parents earn about Rs. 6000/- a month.
Chetan’s parents want to educate him as much as they can, so that he can pursue his dreams and become an independent and a respectable person. However, the biggest worry that his parents have right now is that the mere income of his father will not be sufficient enough to give him the best education he needs.
Shiksha Rath (Chariot of Education) Academy is an after school project that offers world class education to underprivileged children. Its goals are to prepare underprivileged children for the best of higher education and valuable employ-ability, to offer a long-term corrective to the economic impoverishment faced by slum dwellers and to embody the children with values that would make them future agents of social change.
Shiksha Rath has selected Chetan for the academy who proved to be hardworking, enthusiastic and academically gifted for this investment.
Your every rupee (Rs.40, 000) donated towards his education will play a key role in ensuring his to receive a world class education and shape the path of his future.
