“Journey of thousand miles starts with one single step.” This popular saying is well lived by
Mrs. R.K.Usha, a 67 year old woman of wisdom and compassion. Earlier in her life she had served with tourism sector for 30 years in various capacities with government and corporate sector,
living a well-furnished life of autocracy and status. She led a very colorful life busy in visiting exotic places all around the world, staying at world’s finest places, attending fairs,
festival and cultural programs. She had no idea about the darker side of human existence which is full suffering arising out of ignorance, social suppression and income disparity. At the age of 55
her life took a complete turn when she decided to take voluntary retirement and shift to her house in greater Noida and practice law. Court room realities introduced her to the darker side of life
full of lies, cheating, fraud, jealousy, theft, robbery and even murder over nonsense issues. The very sight of any young or juvenile accused being brought by police in the court room that also hand
cuffed used to make her shiver. But compassion in her heart made her think what could be the possible causes behind such crime and the answer was social deprivation and lack of education. She
felt concerned for the well-being of the oppressed and suffering and believed that a movement rooted in the ordinary nameless citizens held the power to change the society. She decided to channelize
the energies of this younger generation whose parents in search of work leave them unattended resultantly when no one is around them to demarcate between good and evil they inherit criminal
tendencies resulting into bigger crimes. Hence this very idea to channelize the limitless energies into positive direction gave birth to start Apna School.
