Everyone has a right to education, but it was far from children whose parents were somehow supporting their families by living in slums. There was a shadow of poverty on 'Didi' too.


Far from studying, he had the desire to fill his stomach in front of him. Despite this, she did not lose courage and went ahead with high spirits. It is the result of that that today they have lit the lamp of education in the darkness of illiteracy. He is determined to brighten the future of the country.

Neetu Singh, a native of Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh, says that she grew up in a slum. Parents worked as laborers and spent their entire childhood in poverty. Many times food was not even available, then it was a matter of begging, but when I saw that the children who beg were pushed towards the wrong attitude, they were made to do wrong things, then on the same day I decided to do something different. Is. I will save the slum children from the clutches of people who push them towards the wrong trend.


 During this, Neetu paid full attention to studies and did MA from Hansraj College of Delhi University and BEd from Kurukshetra University. After this she came to teach in the slums and dedicated the slum to the children in the name of Sabki Pathshala, but the local people warned to remove Sabki Pathshala. Even said that Hindu-Muslim children should not be taught together.


If financial support is given then library is made

Neetu Singh says that once dared to talk to the parents of the children. No one had aadhar card. The problem was also that the children wanted to go to school, but the atmosphere was not available. Children are afraid of the teacher that they do not know anything. Then made them aware and taught more than 250 children free of cost in everyone's school.


Rotary Club gave one lakh rupees award for running Sabki Pathshala, then Delhi Commission for Women gave 25 thousand rupees. Retired Usha Chatrath also got support. After getting financial support, a small cottage has been made in the slum itself and a library has been arranged in it.
