Let us meet an Amazing Indian - Madhav Chavan.
Madhav Chavan is a social activist and entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and CEO of the educational non-profit, Pratham.
Pratham is an innovative learning organization created to improve the quality of education in India. As one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the country, Pratham focusses on high-quality, low-cost education system for children in the slums of Mumbai.
What one is trained to do, what one plans to do, and what one actually ends up doing can be radically different and Madhav Chavan's life is shining example of that. After spending 8 years in USA in late 1970s, Chavan was drawn back to India for a bigger and nobler vision in field of education.
He started teaching at the University of Mumbai's Department of Chemical Technology and at same time got involved in imparting education to slum children.
Over a period of time Madhav Chavan decided to quit teaching profession at University and get full time with his NGO work. He partnered with UNICEF and at around same time he also got support from big names in Indian industry like ex-banker and philantrophist Narayanan Vaghul. The Birlas, the Piramals, and Reliance all did their bit.
And Pratham was born. And as of today Pratham is spreading light of knowledge in underpriviledged society.
