Thousands of parents & students in government schools are left out of decisions & conversations that impact them the most. At @samarthya_org , we're working to change that and make sure they get an equal seat at the table. Have you ever felt what it’s like to finally be heard?

[Sahil Babbar @babbar28]

Why is community participation important in a school? Why is parent/student participation important? The most universal answer I've come down to is that I want to create a world in which everyone has more opportunity to shape their lives irrespective of their circumstance.
