My name is Srijata Basu. I am a devotee of Chinmaya Mission. I studied in St Mary's convent,Allahabad and Loreto Convent Lucknow. I studied physiology hons in presidency college, Kolkata and did M.sc in food and nutrition from Calcutta University. Before I joined Chinmaya Mission,for several years, I tried my best to alleviate suffering of destitute, severely ill, malnourished women lying on the streets of Kolkata. I tried to pursuade women victims of the flesh trade to come out of it. I spent time trying to counsel women prisoners,widows deserted in old age homes and mental asylums.

I have undertaken this campaign because I believe that the right education is the foundation for life’s journey. I was fascinated by the 3 pronged approaches of this campaign and the impact it will make. This is truly about REIMAGINING EDUCATION.

1)The uniqueness of Chinmaya University (CVV) – a global university that will transform the lives of future generations of students. This will impact and change the future.
2) In the immediate present being able to impact the lives of underprivileged students from Chinmaya Vidyalaya across India by supporting their education is a very high-impact initiative. The parents of these students are typically daily wage workers and many of them are illiterate and do not realize how critical education is.
3) Again in the present the Chinmaya schools need better infrastructure. The lack of it definitely impacts the quality of education and the school environment & this is a critical need.

Brick by brick, let us come together and make sure that this ‘One Knowledge – One World’ initiative is realized within our lifetimes.
