Meet a Bihari helping poor School Children to excel

An Unfulfilled Dream, Scarcity of Money and a Desire to do something for others were the only companion of Vikas when he started The Rising Bihar Coaching Center (Education for All) for Poor, where students from economically backward sections are taught free of cost.

Bihar may be shining high with the success of Super 30, but there are several other Anand Kumars who have taken initiatives to help the poor and talented students of Bihar , but remain unnoticed.

Meet Vikas Sinha, who runs a free tuition classes for poor students in Vaishali. Accompanied by his brother Akash and few others, they prepare poor students for Class 10 Examinations without charging anything. They also have batches for junior students.

“I dropped my study 3 time till my 12th education which was ruined 5 valuable years of my life. I remember having paid the tuition fee of my 10th class almost one year after passing”, quotes Vikas.

Having seen the wrath of poverty, Vikas wanted to do something for the economically downtrodden students of the society. Here they got support from The Rising Bihar (TRB), – a social community active on Facebook. Gradually some of our friend Mukesh Kumar, Mukesh Sah, and Krishna Kumar associated with him and they formed a small team called TRB Vaishali.

TRB Cadres helped him to setup “The Rising Bihar Coaching Center (Education for All)” on 11th November 2011 which was supposedly the National Education Day. However, they had to wait till January 2, 2012 for a formal inauguration.

“Now we are giving tuition to Class 6-10 students on a very nominal fee and a Free Tuition to economically backward children”, says Vikas who has set up to pursue his dream of bringing smiles across poor children’s faces.
