What can we do to transform the lives of a whole generation of school-going children from under-served families? 

As much as we may criticize our schooling system, the reality is that a vast majority of  parents from the socioeconomically weak sections send their children to schools with big hopes. They wish that schooling will set their children them up for a fair chance at life - a fair chance that each of us who can read this got because of our schooling.

I am part of a team that has immersed itself at the ground level in a small set of schools this academic year.These are schools deep within the intestines of urban Bengaluru, educating students from low-income families.

We named our intervention as School transformation and Empowerment Project (STEP). Our current reach is 3000 students and 100 classrooms across 7 schools. It's been an exhilarating journey so far. We covered so much ground and forged some key partnerships with like-minded people and organisations to maximise impact. And we plan to expand the scope of STEP with more schools in the coming academic year.
