“When I first met Amitabh Shah, he shared about his vision for children and his journey of transforming government schools in India. And it surprised me even more when I personally visited these schools and saw the extraordinary work done there. I learnt that his work has already changed the lives of over 6 lakhs kids from socio-economically challenged backgrounds in over 1500 schools. I think I am only making a small contribution to his mission of transforming 10,000 schools. Sangram Singh Charitable Foundation aims to transform 1000 schools with YUVA Unstoppable,” shared Sangram Singh at the event.
