Unsung Heroes: How a Karnataka teacher’s helping children find their way to school

Ambarish C M, a 36-year-old college lecturer, grew up in Cheemandahalli village in Karnataka's Hoskote and faced significant financial hardships throughout his life. Struggling to afford basic necessities like notebooks and food, he vowed never to ask his family for money again. This determination led him to work odd jobs, eventually finding work at a printing press, a clothing store, and eventually as a catering worker in five-star hotels.

His hard work and dedication eventually paid off, allowing him to earn multiple postgraduate degrees, including a doctorate. Now, he uses his experience to help 35 children in his community find their way to school, providing them with basic lessons, meals, and support.
