“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”, a perfect example of this powerful quote by Nelson Mandela has been manifested by Muskaan Ahirwar, a class three student from a slum area of Bhopal is the best example of this.
“I am very happy. My parents and my friends are also extremely happy. I want to be a doctor in future. I had started the library with 121 books…now I have many books. Now around 50 kids come here. I would like to invite the kids who do not come here and tell them to be something when they grow up,” Muskaan said.
Muskaan, who wants to be a doctor, was awarded the ‘Thought Leader’ award by NITI Aayog in Delhi yesterday. The youngest recipient of the award received the honour at the hands of Olympic medalist Sakshi Malik, as reported by The New Indian Express.
