Arun Kelkar Cycles for Girls' Education as part of Umeed 1000 Cyclothon

Arun Kelkar, one of our promising cyclists, who has been supporting us since the initial days, says that sweating out for a cause close to his heart brings him immense satisfaction. Leaving behind trails of positivity and repair on the paths he traverses riding on his bicycle, he takes pride in being a part of the Cyclothon.

He says, "It's a pride for me to be a part of the Cyclothon as well as working towards the noble cause of girl child education for four consecutive years. Apart from supporting this social cause, I am happy to give in a tiny bit towards environment conservation."

This year, Arun Kelkar will be cycling for Udbhav School, which focuses on Providing holistic English medium education to low income group girl children in urban slumsin Hyderabad. IIMA Alumni Association Hyderabad Chapter Charitable Trust tookover the school (facing imminent closure) located in Rasoolpura, a slum area of Hyderabad, designated as a notified slum by the government in April, 2013. The IIMA alumni are spurred by the vision that all children should have the same opportunities. The school was renamed as “Udbhav School” by IIMAAA Hyderabad Chapter Charitable trust. Therefore, the Udbhav management is committed to providing the Udbhav children opportunities and education for their all round growth and development. Their vision is to transform the lives of at least 10,000 underprivileged children and their families by 2025.
