Amarjeet Singh, a 57-year-old cab driver from Gurugram, India, has embarked on a remarkable journey to educate underprivileged children through his initiative, 'Mission Sarbat Da Bhala'. Inspired by the plight of children who lost parents during the COVID-19 pandemic, Singh converted his cab into an ambulance to help transport patients at no cost. In 2022, he started a school with just five students, initially holding classes on a terrace. As the number of students grew to 200, classes moved to a parking lot, where challenges such as echoing noises made teaching difficult. Singh has invested his savings into providing free uniforms, meals, and educational materials. To sustain the school, he launched 'Raddi Se Unnati', encouraging community members to donate scrap materials for sale. Currently, Singh operates two vans—one as an ambulance and the other to safely transport students, especially girls, to school. He hopes for government recognition to further expand his school but remains committed to his mission regardless.
