Please take us through the journey of Sitare Foundation.
My husband Amit and I have always felt compelled to give back to society. This, in 2016, led to the establishment of our charitable endeavour for educating bright underprivileged children, Sitare Foundation. We collaborated with a school in Jodhpur and during our initial year itself, we had 250 students who came to take the entrance exam. We have spread our presence across Jodhpur, Jaipur, Ajmer in Rajasthan as well as in Indore and Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. This year itself, we had about 65,000 registrations for our annual entrance exams.
