Caring For The Marginalised
The Morning Standard|September 20, 2020
Parth Sarthi is no ordinary boy. His efforts that reunited 21 children with their families won him of Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2020. At the tender age of 15, in 2018, he founded NGO Raasta Foundation for holistic development of underprivileged children and Assist Basketball Academy to train physically challenged and underprivileged kids in the game. Earlier this month, he organised a musical programme, Tarang, with the help of kids of juvenile homes.
Caring For The Marginalised

“The inspiration for Tarang came when I read two news items. One, on Covid-19 spreading among these children, and the other on children who tried to escape from a juvenile home. I realised the mental stress children must be going through and decided to do something about it. They all helped organise the programme and also participated in it.”
