Ahmed Ali, a rickshaw-puller from Assam, has established schools for underprivileged children in his area

    Ahmed Ali’s dedication to educating underprivileged children is truly inspiring. Born and raised in Madhurband village in Assam, Ali moved to Karimganj district in search of work.

    As a rickshaw-puller, he was himself unable to pursue his education due to financial constraints. This made him empathetic towards children who were in the same situation. He decided to set up schools in his area to provide free education.
