Due to financial constraints in India, many children are deprived of education or forced to drop out of school before completion of studies. According to a government report, the dropout rate at the secondary level in India is more than 17%. At the same time, there are about 30 percent students in the country, who are unable to reach even from secondary to senior secondary. In such a situation, Avais Amber has taken the initiative to educate these students.
Avais Amber is the founder of Rosemine Educational and Charitable Trust based in Bihar. Which is a great helper of students who drop out in the middle due to financial constraints and other reasons in the country. By taking up the responsibility of education of thousands of children, he not only made them educated but also made them self-reliant. Today all these students are giving blessings to Avais.
Rosemine was founded in 2012 by Avais, who idolized former President of India and missile man Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. During the last decade, he has helped more than 30,000 students to not only get higher and technical education but also to get employment. Today his organization is working with the aim that the education system of the country should become so cheap that no one has to leave his education in the middle due to lack of money. For this he is constantly trying.
