Education is important for many reasons as it helps individuals to develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially. It expands their knowledge base and helps them gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. Education provides them with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a wide range of career options. It opens doors to better job prospects and higher earning potential that empower people by giving them the tools to advocate for themselves and pursue their goals. It ultimately increases their confidence and self-esteem. However, despite this, some people stay away from education due to some economic and social reasons. Dr Anil Kumar Founder of the Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation is one such individual who is working on giving a platform of education to the underprivileged people through his NGO.
More than 35 M children between the ages of 6 – 14 years do not attend school in India. In the age group of 5 to 9 years, 53% of girls are illiterate but Dr Anil Kumar comes as a lifeline for such children. NGO Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation is actively involved in the upliftment of the education sector. Along with that, the institution is involved in revolutionary work for the complete development of Divyang Persons, supports needy families by doing samuhik vivah, and also played an important role in fighting the covid-19 in collaboration with Jivodaya hospital At Ashok Vihar Delhi.
NGO Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation also provides free computer training to underprivileged students. They are trained by experts in the field who also provide them with practical training for hands-on experience. Expert trainers and volunteers make sure the students receive the best knowledge of computers. They provide basic training with advanced courses to students so that they can have better career perspectives at their coaching centre. The founder has a dream of making every student proficient in using computers and surviving in today’s digital world, thus, he is on a mission to make it a reality.
Considering his social works, Dr Anil Kumar has also been honoured with the Guest Of Honour award at the reputed Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam Inspiration Awards 2023, held at Vigyan Bhawan.
Dr Anil Kumar plays his role very well to protect vulnerable sections of society, facilitate change and support those who need it most in the community. While sharing his vision, Dr Anil expresses, “Our Foundation is a Group of professionals organising, serving and helping the deprived children, war widows, etcetera. Working for the good brings no harm to one, instead, it brings a smile to pale faces which yearn for the same and a glimpse of them would bring you happiness as well, thus, I would urge each one of you to also help those in need in whatever way you can.”
Social workers are the backbone of our society and they are the ones who work tirelessly to help people in need. Society must appreciate social workers for their dedication towards helping people as they make a huge difference in the lives of citizens. Everyone knows that social workers have a tough job, but they do it with so much compassion and empathy. They are truly selfless and deserve all the respect in the world. Aiming for this, Dr Anil Kumar always ensures to appreciate the volunteers because it is them who are helping to keep the good work going.
Education is important because it empowers individuals, improves the quality of life, contributes to personal and societal development, and cultivates a more informed and engaged citizenry. It is an essential tool for personal and professional growth in an ever-changing and interconnected world. With the Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation, Dr Anil Kumar has put the responsibility of furthering this social development on his shoulders. All his humanitarian works inspire everyone to support the needy in the world and always contribute to the betterment of society.
