A total of 21 companies with 30 teams, 62 fundraisers and more than 1,500 donors are competing in the race to support 10 causes. Software professional Namitha Acharya is running on Sunday to raise funds for her favourite NGO. “For the last six years, I’ve been running the 10ks and half marathons to raise money for Bal Utsav,” Namitha said.

Aided by the technology and an inclusive and interacting approach to education, it is revitalising over 200+ govt schools in Karnataka. Impacting nearly 800,000 students and counting, this couple-led NGO has an engaging story.

Bal Utsav, an education-based NGO, on Wednesday, announced that it will set up ‘Smart Schools’ in Hyderabad and Chennai. The NGO aims to replicate its flagship program ‘iShaala’ in these cities, starting with Mandala Praja Parishad Primary School, Nizamabad, and Government Model Higher Secondary School, Saidapet, Chennai

There are many kids in Karnataka who want to attend classes after the government allowed the school to reopen. But for those who are still apprehensive, an NGO has stepped in to accommodate their online classes.
