Rupantaran

Under the Prayas Foundation, the Rupantaran Initiative aims to empower Scheduled Tribe youth in Madhya Pradesh by providing comprehensive MPPSC exam preparation, including tuition, accommodation, food, and educational materials, all free of cost.
Students receive guidance from administrative officers, successful business people, and accomplished professionals from various fields. Their mentorship and examples inspire students to excel and contribute positively to society.

Genesis of Rupantaran

The Rupantaran program, conceived by Mr. Tagore (Additional Collector, MP Government), aims to empower underprivileged students through education and guidance. Mr. Tagore, inspired by his parents Mr. Mohansingh Tagore and Mrs. Chandrakala Tagore, partnered with me, Someshwar Kher (President, Prayas Foundation), to formalize this initiative along with Mr. Hitesh ji (Secretary Prayas Foundation).
Previously, both Mr. Tagore and I worked independently to support students, resulting in many success stories. My parents, the late Shri Vasant Narayan Kher & Smt. Sulbha Vasant Kher, instilled in me a deep sense of social responsibility, guiding my efforts from a young age.
FUnder the Prayas Foundation, the Rupantaran program now aims to organize and expand our efforts, providing students with the resources and support needed to excel in life and contribute to society.ounders: Mr. Santosh Tagore, Additional Collector, MP Government, and Mr. Someshwar Kher, Director, Prayas Foundation
