ANTARDRISHTI AT 20

20 YEARS · 20 STORIES · One Journey

We did not set out to build an organisation. We set out to answer a question, a question that began with a boy named Raju, who knew everything about a joker from his Braille book but had never actually seen one. What happens when a child can learn everything a book can teach, but still needs opportunities to experience the world beyond the book?

We hope it helps you see something too.
