Meet Rupak Singh : Founder of Saksham Foundation
Rupak Singh was born and brought up in Raipur, and aims to bridge the gap in the education system that the small towns face when compared to the metro cities.
He completed his high school from Maharshi Vidhya Mandir, Raipur, and he graduated in business management from Bangalore University. Afterward, he completed his post-graduation as an MBA from Christ University, Bangalore.
While tutoring children in Banglore, he realized that it is not just the quality of education, but also the very attitude and demeanor of the people towards education lack the necessary values.
After that, he decided to take a step forward and work on bridging the gap, in whatever small ways he could. Rupak, along with a few of his friends and family members, founded the Saksham Foundation in the year 2016.
The vision is to reform and upgrade the quality of education provided in government schools in and around the city. For founding the foundation, Rupak spent all his savings from the job at Axis Bank.
Founder of Saksham Foundation
Saksham as a team started their journey with their first-ever program in the 2016 Holi festival, where they provided refreshments to over 400 policemen, who were on duty.
Saksham Foundation at present works with the small orphanages and Ashrams, where it addresses the basic needs of the kids and donates all the funds raised.
Small campaigns and programs on various occasions accomplish the fundraising. The most successful fundraiser for them is organizing Cricket Matches.
Due to insufficient funds, Rupak is yet to realize his vision of educational up-gradation but plans to indulge soon. He has been slated to work with a few government schools in the rural parts of Raipur. Which is for bringing about values in the education system.
He also aims to successfully work towards the well-being of society as a whole. By providing quality education and proper grooming to the future generation.
Team gr8Pandy hopes for the accomplishment of his dreams and a very happy birthday!✨
