But these students thought in a different way and wanted to take care of the underprivileged children of the society and make it a part of their dream. As a part of achieving their goal first they wanted to educate those children who belonged to the servant quarters of the campus. That’s how Shiksha Sopan came into existence. Understanding their noble thought other students, faculty members and the other employees of IIT Kanpur had joined hands with them. Later local young enthusiastic youth also joined this mission. It’s now a registered nongovernmental organization which imparts meaningful education to the under developed sections of the society which are in and around of IIT Kanpur, making the students self confident, dependent and socially conscious beings.
