Acerca de Upasana R

Upasana is enabling low-income schools with resource mobilisation and social networks.

Deeply empathising with the problem of inequality in education, Upasana started her initiative GoPaadhai when she was 16, to support underprivileged schools with resources to sustain quality education. As a child with cerebral palsy who is wheelchair-bound, she is conscious of and advocates for the value of inclusivity and accessibility. Upasana has undergone strides of transformation from a teenager with an intrinsic fear of incompetence to a Changemaker who is ready to guide many more in society. As of Dec 2020, Upasana and her team members have been able to create positive impact on more than 1500 students through GoPaadhai.
