Raunak Singh Provides Free Education To Rural Girls In Odisha & Empowers Them For A Brighter Tomorrow
The Indian women are leaving no stone unturned in breaking shackles of the male-dominated society and making their presence visible almost in every field whether it is in business, defense forces, IT & IT-enabled services, entertainment, sports, etc.
This pleasant change in the condition of women is mostly because of the education that they are able to get nowadays plus mindset of the society has also changed a little over the years. However, the condition of women in rural areas is still a matter of great concern and needs to be improved.
The biggest problem faced by the girls of rural areas is that they are not able to get proper education due to some reasons, such as poverty, lack of educational facilities, old societal norms, etc. Though the central and state governments have taken various steps to uplift the condition of rural women, a lot more needs to be done in this regard. Well, the good thing is that humanitarians like Raunak Singh are also playing a good role to solve the problem by lending support to women of rural areas.
Raunak
Singh
is
from
Cuttack,
Odisha,
and
he
is
the
founder
of
an
NGO
known
as
Sikh
Aid
which
is
active
almost
in
every
part
of
the
country.
Raunak
has
been
empowering
the
young
girls
of
rural
Odisha
by
imparting
basic
education
to
them
so
that
they
can
do
something
big
in
their
lives
and
have
a
bright
future.
Well,
it
was
not
easy
for
Raunak
Singh
to
convince
the
parents
of
young
girls
to
send
them
to
study
but
ultimately
he
succeeded
and
the
fact
that
he
was
providing
education
free
of
cost
also
helped
in
bringing
more
girls
to
the
classes
as
majority
of
the
households
in
rural
Odisha
are
poverty-stricken.
This
initiative
will
certainly
give
great
results
as
educating
the
young
girls
is
the
first
step
in
making
them
self-reliant
and
it
will
eventually
make
India
a
stronger
nation.

Raunak Singh and his NGO Sikh Aid are also helping rural women in menstruation hygiene management (MHM) by making them understand the importance of MHM and by spreading awareness regarding the diseases that a woman can suffer from if she doesn't take care of her hygiene. Every month, Raunak Singh and his team distribute around 6,000-7,000 sanitary pads free of cost and till now, they have distributed more than 1 lakh sanitary pads among rural women.
Raunak Singh also helped the people of his state after their lives got devastated due to the natural calamities such as Cyclone Title (2018), Cyclone Fani (2019), Odisha flood (2020) and Cyclone Yaas (2021). On an average, he and his team fed 10,000 people with food in langar daily and later on, he also offered aid in rebuilding their houses.
Raunak Singh walks on the path shown by his Sikh Gurus and he strongly believes that serving mankind selflessly is the best way to worship the God. Though Raunak Singh is a known name, we should still let more people know about him so that people can get inspired by him and do something good for the downtrodden and poor people of the society.
