GeoForAll supports initiatives and colleagues working to provide more 
opportunities for first generation students from around the world. I would like 
to request colleagues to share ideas for providing geospatial education 
opportunities for more first-generation students from around the world.


I would like to introduce you all to Raju Kendre,  Founder at Eklavya - an 
initiative promoting higher education and enabling grassroots leadership of 
first-generation learners in India.
