In one of the narrow alleys of Korrukupet in North Chennai, Tamilnadu. Where houses have been built so close to each other that you would think they had common walls and front doors of houses open to the street. Around 40 children are huddled in a 50 sq ft asbestos roofed room on the first floor of a multi-tenanted building.


It is one of the 29 tuition centers for underprivileged children run by Non-Government Organizations in Chennai. Volunteers at the center guide students from classes 1 to 12 every evening and help them in their studies. “The children come from very poor backgrounds. Their parents do small jobs. Some of them are scavengers and sweepers.


Most families in this neighborhood live in single-room houses, where the atmosphere is not conducive for learning.

In the evenings he volunteers at the center. He can speak both Telugu and Tamil. It is an advantage for him since the mother tongue of many children who come to the tuition center is Telugu and they study in Telugu medium schools.
