World has recognized India as economic super power. Urban India is shining. At the same time teeming millions living in the rural area are struggling for two ends to meet. They have been deprived from eating the fruits of this progress. This is Bharat. There is a difference between urban India and poor Bharat.

We by School on Wheels try to bridge this gap by providing quality education to poor rural children. To eliminate poverty, education is an only tool by which people can earn more, know how to raise standard of living and have a vision of better life.
