Umran: Leap for Joy

It was once said that there are three necessities in life: food, clothing, and shelter. However, as technology has advanced, education has also become one of life’s fundamentals. Poverty prevents many students from obtaining an education. Parents who are unable to feed their children cannot imagine providing them with an education. It is common in India, particularly in underdeveloped states like Bihar, to send young children to work in the belief that more hands equals more money. As a society, we are failing those children by robbing them of their childhood and depriving them of a quality of life that should not be a gift from someone but their own human right.

We cannot sit back and wait for some magical wand to change the world overnight; the world will be a better place only if those who can make an effort come forward and contribute to the construction of a place where everyone is equal and not divided by any self-made measures.

The government provides free education, but there is a lack of awareness among these children’s parents, who do not understand the value of education. With our initiative UMRAN, we are taking one step closer to freeing those children’s chained childhoods and liberating those oppressed lives who are considered untouchables in society.

We are taking one step closer to removing all of the stigmas that have harmed people’s quality of life, which should have been a basic human right. We are attempting to create an environment of equality and quality by constructing a school where no one is divided on the basis of caste, gender, economy, or religion.
