With an intent to bring a positive change in society, a 15-year-old boy from Delhi started working to help a local school arrange uniforms for girls from economically weaker families.
Ishan Kapur, a student at the Wellington College in the United Kingdom, worked with Sri Ramakrishna Asharam in the national capital and managed to collect almost 100 laptops and tablets for teachers and students by raising £5,000 (over ₹4 lakh) through his campaign.
