Dear Supporters,

Ujwal Thakar, the former CEO of Pratham and GiveIndia, visited the school Shoshit Samadhan Kendra on July 16, 2019, on the occasion of its Foundation Day. He blogged about the visit on his facebook which widely read, the blog is reproduced below -  

“Normally I write about young entrepreneurs and their amazing  journeys.. but this one is way more impressive.. it’s the story of a second innings after a very successful career with Indian government, success that took the IPS officer to the top of India’s spy establishment.. the story is all the more amazing because the second innings had nothing remotely to do with the first.. and considering that his father and grandfather were both Head of the police in pre independence Bihar as officers of the then blue blooded IP ( Indian police ) one would have expected the retired officer at age sixty to aspire to be either MP or governor as most Bihar cadre officers aspire.. But Padma Shri Jyoti Sinha was obviously made of a different mettle.. He chose to start a free residential school for the children of the Maha Dalit Musahar community starting with his own savings post retirement ...

This was fifteen years back with twenty young children in classes one and two in rented premises in Patna .. Mr. Sinha,s theory is that only education and nothing else can transform the inter generational poverty of this community which is so poor that it is rat  eating .. He also believes that if in thirty years if ten thousand of these community kids graduate from colleges after a well rounded value based education in school,and at least a thousand of them join the civil services, they will be able to transform the lives of the entire community.. It was an audacious daring dream backed fully by conviction. He was not daunted by the fact that he was sixty when he started and the results of his efforts would begin to deliver concrete transformation only after a minimum of twenty to twenty five years..

And like all dreams born out of the purity of conviction this one also materialised .. yesterday was the fifteenth founders day of the school, called Shoshit Sewa Kendra,it has a beautiful school building with nice playgrounds and hostel accommodation for four hundred kids.. it’s now a fully residential accredited CBSE school with four hundred kids on board all from Musahar community from all over Bihar.. the first batches are now in college.. and that leads to the second phase of the dream ., and by now Mr.Sinha is 75 ( yesterday was his seventh fifth bday) .. the dream is to build an academy which will train these kids for civil services and other competitive options.. to double the capacity to thousand kids and young adults all living together in same premises .. first steps have already been taken .. the hostel is ready and a young man has joined to lead the charge .. well the young man is thirty, has just turned down a job which was offering him a salary of a crore of rupees, not surprising considering that he is an IIT Delhi alum with a degree in computer sciences who had a JEE rank of 109.. but more about him when I engage with him over the next few months, the young man was there for the founders day function five days after his marriage to another inspiring young girl who is going to give up a job in an international school in Dubai to join the school ..

And going by the show the children put up yesterday ranging from “The Merchant of Venice” in English to a beautifully choreographed dance to depict Gandhian values to an exhibition that displayed scientific innovation .. I have no doubts that Mr.Jyoti Sinha’s vision of transforming the Musahar community will be reality in the next decade.. Mr.Sinha its a rare privilege to be a trustee of your organisation and to learn from you about how conviction and vision makes age just a number .. Was truly inspiring to be at the foundation day in Patna yesterday
Happy seventh fifth, may God grant you health and energy to fulfill all your dreams”
