Founder Ravindra Kumar

The Inspiring Journey of Our Founder

Coming from a landless family in Hardoi, Ravindra Kumar moved to Lucknow and worked as a cloth hawker (kapde ki pheri) to support his family. Understanding the struggle, his mission began simply by trying to secure admissions for his own two children under the RTE Act.

When he saw the systemic difficulties faced by poor parents, he formed the 'Abhibhavak Manch'. What started with getting 12 children admitted turned into a movement that now secures admissions for over 100 children every year.

Guided by the mentorship of Padma Shri Phoolbasan Yadav ji, Human Enlightenment Trust was formed to fight for children's rights and provide free education in the very slums he grew up working in.
