70-year old engineer teaches underprivileged children in makeshift tents

A retired engineer's wish to educate his domestic help's son has three decades later materialized into a school. The school now boasts of over 400 children who are taught with the help of professional volunteers.
According to PTI, 70-year-old J. D. Khurana and his wife say that the plight of young children, who worked as domestic servants and rag pickers at an age when they should have attended school instead, moved them deeply. The couple who founded the government-approved NGO 'Guru Nanak Sewa Sansthan', said that the underprivileged kids' predicament made them take upon themselves the responsibility of building them a bright future.
"During my days of service, my wife and I would feel uncomfortable seeing small children help as maids or rag-pickers rather than going to school. We both started keeping a part of our salary separately to help the needy," says Khurana.
Initially, it began with the couple funding the education of few children, firstly of their driver's son, and then, of a blind girl student of the college where his wife was a principal. The initiative soon took shape of a school called the 'Nai Kiran Universal School.'
