The Satya Bharti Elementary School in Khanpur is improving accessibility of quality education in rural Ludhiana and also helping rural and underprivileged children realise their potential, Pradhan wrote on X.

The Bharti Airtel Foundation is operating 155 such elementary schools in rural areas across four States in the country.

“Home to over 250+ students, this vibrant learning space in Ludhiana is nurturing creative thinking in young learners by bringing NEP 2020 into practice. It was a delight to interact with students and learn more about their dreams, aspirations and creative solutions to real-world problems,” posted Pradhan.
