In Indian rural areas, children struggle to reach their school which are many kilometres away from their home. Children studying in public schools just hop onto a bus and reach their destination laughing and giggling.

It is not the same for many unprivileged children in India. While students in Delhi-NCR take a boat ride and then walk for half an hour, another group from Raipur, Chhattisgarh have to row makeshift tin-drum boats to study their favourite subject.
