“The greatest legacy you can leave behind is your knowledge.”

Hi! Namaste!

Welcome to Kenlighten. I am so delighted to have you here.

When I was a litle kid studying in an urban school, I kind of got used to all the benefits one gets from such schools. Access to great infrastructure, superb canteen food (yeah I loved those breaks and the Founder's Day), wonderful multi-ethnic teachers and kids, variety of learning opportunities, classy seasonal uniforms, children being dropped off in swanky imported cars, separate grounds to play the sport you loved, luminaries such as the future President of the nation being invited as chief guests for the annual sports day... you get the picture, right?

Then, came a time when I landed up in another part of the country and saw and experienced first hand what a small town school really felt like. No doubt we had great teachers, but the classrooms would be leaky, there was no canteen, sports days were held on community grounds, most kids were bashful and noisy and many came from not-so privileged backgrounds... yet, there was a greater sense of camaraderie. It was a bit of a culture shock initially, but I soon fell in love with the place so much so that when I was privately offered admission to a much better school by its head, I politely smiled subvocalizing, "Thank you Sir, but no thanks!" Over the years my schoolmates have grown up to do well for themselves in their own chosen professions and are definitely living and giving their kids a better quality of life than what they grew up with. Makes me genuinely happy and proud!

Yet, there surely have been so many who were not as fortunate. Not for want of talent, but for access to quality education. Quality education is the single most important driver of life enhancing economic transformation. It should be a basic necessity and hence easily accessible and affordable. Thanks to the accelerated growth in technology, we can now make quality learning ubiquitous.
