Bindeshwar Yadav Educational Foundation

You can find Bindeshwar Yadav Educational Foundation in Kothwara village, right near the Shiv Mandir. Shri Santosh Kumar is the person in charge, and he’s lived here his whole life. Being near the temple means there is always a lot of activity and people passing by. We started this because we saw that kids in our village needed a bit more help with their studies. It isn't a big school or a fancy college, just a place where we try to organize things for the local students. We have some books and a couple of desks where people can sit. It’s a very local thing, very grassroots. Santosh spends a lot of his time talking to parents who are worried about their children’s future. We don't have much of a budget, so we make do with what the community can give. Sometimes we meet under the trees if the room gets too hot. It’s not always organized perfectly, but we care about the results. We want the kids here to have a better shot at things than we did. People around here trust us because they know we aren't going anywhere. We are part of the village, just like the temple or the old banyan tree. It’s honest work, and it keeps us busy from morning until the evening bells ring at the mandir and everyone goes home.
