We have demonstrated that government schools can be model schools and the real education powerhouses of India. Every school needs to be provided with the best resources as they play a vital role in shaping the children. It is thus more important now than ever that we unite and supplement the existing efforts through every means possible. Our continued collaboration with TCS World 10K will help us to reach out to many socially responsible individuals and organizations, who are willing to support our cause.”
