Sushant Singh Rajput to help educate underprivileged kids

Sushant Singh Rajput harboured dreams of studying abroad, however, the actor couldn't fulfil his dreams due to his financial crisis. The actor, who believes in the right to education, is now all set to provide free education to underprivileged children.

Talking about the same to IANS, Sushant revealed, "My team is working on the idea where we are selecting a group of schools, and we will take a merit test of the kids. If the kids pass the exam, we will take care of their education cost for a year."

He further added, "Next year, they again have to sit for the test to get the free education. This is the first step and will work on other models. But I think this process will give kids a new excitement and encouragement to study and make them more competitive."

Talking about the importance of education, Sushant opined, "My mother always taught me that we educate our children not to become a doctor or engineer, but the impact of basic education reflects on their thought process and decision making. So even if you are getting into a creative profession like acting, your basic education will open your mind enough to think analytically. Therefore, I have taken this small step towards providing basic education to deserving children."
