With  your support only

I am Upendra Kumar from Kubri village of Chouparan block. I come from a very poor family of a remote interior village. I never thought of going to school and getting educated. I sat in corridor of my house and saw other children going to school. One day my parents were told about the NBJK's sponsorship program. I am today sponsored and can exercise my educational rights. My dream couldn’t have come true without your support. There are many children like me who are eager to go to school but are locked in doors owing to poverty. They can also sit and learn along with other students if you support them morally and financially.
