Every child deserves an education that gives them wings to fly.

Since 2013 we have worked in India's most underserved communities — because the right to quality education should never depend on the family you are born into.

"The only way to mitigate poverty and illiteracy is to provide quality and holistic Education to the children and youth of our country. It has been over 10 years — and every child's smile reminds us why we began."
In 2013, Ms. Banerjee started PANKH with a simple belief: every underprivileged child deserves the same quality education as any other child. Today, that belief has touched over 6,000 lives across three states.
