Bhal Manuh - 1st Episode - Uttam Teron

Uttam Teron is making education appealing for children of a community that has traditionally seen a very high drop-out rate. Parijat Academy, founded by Uttam, at Pamohi, near Guwahati, started off by attracting children of stone-crushers and daily wage-earners that dropped out of formal schooling. So successful was this venture--and such did his credibility among the locals grow--that people started preferring Parijat Academy to Government schools for starting the schooling of their children. Uttam's second achievement is that he has managed to fund this entire venture by drawing on the support of the global Non-Resident Assamese (NRA) community. And all this, using the networking power of the internet.
