Nagmani
Kiran Vidhyalaya
When Nagmani saw children begging in the street, she couldn’t stop herself from talking to them. She went to their house and, after speaking with their parents, discovered that the children were shackled to begging because of the dire financial situation of their families. Seeing their financial condition, Nagmani decided to teach them for four months free of cost. After teaching for four months, she was able to convince their parents of the importance of education. Twenty-five children who were begging earlier are now going to school.
Umesh Mayannvar

Umesh and his team of young LEAders took the initiative to discuss this problem with the Gram Panchyat, as well as the farmers. Umesh convinced them to get the canal cleaned. He also spoke to a JCB owner to help him out. Within a week the entire village got to work and the problem was solved. Because of this initiative, 1000’s of people have benefited. The canal now brings water to 100+ to the village.

He designed 50 low cost effective table lamps, which now illuminated the minds of the young school going children. The LED rechargeable lamps cost Rs 23 each.
Kunal Sambranekar
Water Purification
Is the water we drink everyday, actually ok to drink? Kunal Sambranekar, a young LEADer from Belgaum, took the initiative of testing the water for its purity. He conducted the test in 23 villages across Belgaum district. Out of the samples tested, 90% of it failed to achieve the desired result. This meant that 90% of the water contained harmful bacteria, which causes disease like cholera and diarrhea. The press has covered this issue and the local government bodies and the Panchyat are working on getting clean, drinkable water to the people in these 23 villages. This project is set to benefit 2, 00,000 people in the 23 villages.
Shruti Save Beggars
When Shruti saw a beggar woman distressed, she went to her and had a conversation. However, the interaction didn’t stop with the conversation. She found that her husband was disabled and she had to beg for a living and that they lived on the street. Shruti was determined to solve the beggar woman’s problem. There were challenges which she had to face, but there was no reason for her to step back. She went to the Tashildar’s and discussed about this problem. She found that there was some scheme by the government for the beggars. Under the scheme, Shruti got a house constructed with Rs 10000/- and also managed to get the beggar woman employment with a regular income.
