Leading the group is Rajesh,who said many students are from poor backgrounds,For them moving out of inaccessible areas like Thalela Puneja,Bhella and Natwas is like a distant dream.

Teachers also said because the areas are far flung and almost inaccessible,the civil administration has also given up on the people of the area.

We want to give these children proper exposure to the outside world so that they can explore more avenues for themselves. said an officer travelling with the group.
