ACT… bring the change
Teaching an underprivileged child can liberate him from burden and ties and when we talk about teaching or education, we are referring not only to school studies but inculcating moral values also. ACT conducts various meditation and moral education camps in collaboration with established educational institutions so that children could become independent and grow into respectable citizens. At ACT we are working hard to support the national objective of 100% literacy.
