Friends, Institute for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences (IRDS), of which I am presently the President, had been running a school named "Indian Public Academy" at Kaushalpuri Colony, Khargapur, Gomtinagar, Lucknow for the past few years. There is a substantially large section of people in that area whose financial status is not quite good. In view of this, the Governing body of IRDS has decided that in future there shall be no Fee and any other payments in its school. The school shall try to cater to the needs of such poor and downtrodden people of the area by providing them completely free and best-possible quality education. Me, my wife Dr Nutan Thakur and other members of our team shall be paying personal attention to the school so as to be able to provide as good a standard of education to these children as we can. WE need all ur good wishes for the same.
