It is really heartening to see students and teachers taking time out of the busy IIT schedule for such a noble cause. In the present society there is no handicap worse than poverty. All of us in our hearts want to help those who are deprived of the basic rights, but only some of us have the strength to actually stand up and take initiatives. Gopali Youth Welfare Society is one such organization, inspiring and influencing with every stride that they make.
