Vikas borkar
Co-Founder
Having worked at various managerial and executive positions, Vikas realized teaching and spending quality time with children as his true calling.
He started working at a very young age with an ardent aim of achieving great heights. Despite certain family challenges, Vikas never gave up and had always been very deterministic and optimistic in his approach.
His humbleness and giving nature is reflected in his actions and that has earned him recognition and respect. He believes in gender equality and providing life essential values apart from basic education. He envisions to convert his NGO to a english medium school with nominal fees and emphasizing personality and skill development of the children aged between 5 - 18 years.
