Ghaat Wala School

Nitin Kumar, a 28-year-old son of a domestic helper in Kanpur has been teaching 200 underprivileged students like him for free since 2007. Kumar says he took this initiative as he understands the difficulty of not having a mentor and money for education. He runs Ek Nayee Rahh Foundation, an NGO that has initiated "ghat waala school". In return, he only asks his students to teach their subordinate students.
