Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput,
who believes in the right to basic education for every child, has
decided to do his bit in providing free education to underprivileged
children.
Talking about the initiative, Sushant told IANS here: "My team is
working on the idea where we are selecting a group of schools, and we
will take a merit test of the kids. If the kids pass the exam, we will
take care of their education cost for a year."
"Next year, they again have to sit for the test to get the free
education. This is the first step and will work on other models. But I
think this process will give kids a new excitement and encouragement to
study and make them more competitive."
Born and brought up in Patna, Sushant had a desire to study abroad and
couldn't fulfill his dream because of financial crisis. Otherwise, he
has always been a studious person and cleared multiple engineering
exams.
Asked about his opinion on importance of education, Sushant said: "My
mother always taught me that we educate our children not to become a
doctor or engineer, but the impact of basic education reflects on their
thought process and decision making. So even if you are getting into a
creative profession like acting, your basic education will open your
mind enough to think analytically.
"Therefore, I have taken this small step towards providing basic
education to deserving children."
Having gained popularity with television serial "Pavitra Rishta",
Sushant stepped in to Bollywood with the film "Kai Po Che" and got
critical and commercial success of "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story".
Currently, the actor busy promoting "Raabta" which is slated to release
on June 9.
