About:
My name is Japraaj Singh Chandhok and I am a IB 2nd year student with management subjects as my major. I am passionate about sports and I was the captain of my schools U-16 basketball team. I believe I have leadership qualities which I developed from my sports background. I have always enjoyed the act of giving, since I was a kid, from giving 10 rupees to a homeless person to donating crayons and stationary to child orphanages on my birthday, I always found some satisfaction in seeing the smile of a person who was in need. This is what impressed me about this platform as I see it as a means to find a fuel to many of my dreams through which, either big or small I can contribute whatever I can to those in need.
I have undertaken this campaign because I believe that the right education is the foundation for life’s journey. I was fascinated by the 3 pronged approach of this campaign and the impact it will make. This is truly about REIMAGINING EDUCATION.
1)The uniqueness of the Chinmaya University (CVV) – a global university that will transform the lives of future generations of students. This will impact and change the future.
2) In the immediate present being able to impact the lives of underprivileged students from Chinmaya Vidyalaya’s across India by supporting their education is a very high-impact initiative. The parents of these students are typically daily wage workers and many of them are illiterate and do not realise how critical education is.
3) Again in the present the Chinmaya schools need better infrastructure. The lack of it definitely impacts the quality of education and the school environment & this is a critical need.
Brick by brick, let us come together and make sure that this ‘One Knowledge – One World’ initiative is realised within our lifetimes.
