NDTV, together with the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, through the Shiksha Ki Ore Campaign, want to bring to the forefront the urgent need to provide education to all sections of the society, especially those who do not have access or the means to pursue their studies. The campaign looks to celebrate those who are fighting against all odds to pursue the path of literacy and hopes that their stories will inspire many more to educate themselves and take charge of their destiny.
