Shiksha Sopan
Dr. Verma and his team endeavor to establish an educational institution in underdeveloped localities close to IIT Kanpur that will build knowledgeable, self-dependent, confident, socially conscious beings who would be responsible and sensitive to society. Shiksha Sopan has formulated its education system to achieve three main objectives. Shiksha Sopan has almost completed its six years. It has been a great experience for those who have been involved in its activities.
