Now it wants to take that number to 1,000 schools. The aim of these schools is to help needy children, who drop out of school without completing their formal school education due to family circumstances and poverty. “After five years, about 26 crore children, Between the age of 6-10 years, will be without proper schooling – so it’s absolutely necessary that this step is to be taken,” disclosed Rakesh Bharti Mittal.
