Nahid Jawed, 20, helped other parents from backgrounds similar to hers fill out admission forms to enrol in a programme conducted by the NGO. They need to realise that not everyone gets this opportunity, and that they must come back and do something for their siblings, mothers and others in their locality,” said Vinita Saraf, founder and trustee of Ek Tara. Nahid, a second-year BSc student, finds time between college and tuition classes to return to Ek Tara and help parents fill out admission forms. We have seen that parents who can afford their children’s education also want to enrol their daughters in Ek Tara,” said Shuvasree Biswas, the NGO’s executive programme manager. Many organisations, like Ek Tara, believe that besides formal education, giving people opportunities to change their mindsets is crucial.
