Yami Gautam, an actress of the
upcoming Batti Gul and Uri posted on her social media that she has just
supported and donated towards setting up a library for underprivileged kids in
Kohlapur, Maharashtra. Her donation will help over 400 children in the area to read, learn and imagine. The books were
science, math, history, keeping in mind the age group of 7-15 year olds.
The actress mentioned the reason she
felt so strong for children's education was, “I have a personal connection as I
have grown up watching my grandpa start a school which was for underprivileged
kids who could not afford to spend on education. I remember going to that
school and interacting with them when I had an off from my school so that was a
small initiative I saw my family start in Chandigarh. This is why this
(education) has a personal connection with me. I have always wanted to do
something for the education and empowerment of children. Especially the rural
kids as accessibility to basics like books, good public schools, and teachers
are still work in progress in such pockets of the country. While researching I
came across various NGOs who are working on this front and the least we can do
is a contribution in whatever small ways we can."
