A lot of kids in rural areas don’t get the same opportunities to learn as those in cities. In my hometown, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, I joined the Progressive Youth Welfare Association (PYWA) to help change that. We began by running weekend mentorship sessions in one government school, sharing textbooks, setting up parent workshops, and connecting students with volunteer tutors. Today, PYWA has expanded to partner with three schools and operate two hospitals across three cities in India, addressing both educational and health challenges that keep students out of classrooms. Through mentorship programs, resource-sharing drives, and community awareness campaigns, we support rural students in staying enrolled, improving their grades, and dreaming bigger. I also collaborated with IDIA Delhi to mentor underprivileged aspiring law students, guiding them through entrance exams and application processes. Together, these efforts aim to break the cycle of educational inequality and build a healthier, more empowered generation.
