Olympian Ravi Dahiya promotes ‘Shiksha Na Ruke’ for Smile Foundation

Olympic Silver medallist Ravi Dahiya has joined hands with Smile Foundation to promote its campaign ‘Shiksha Na Ruke’. Dahiya will lend his support to promote the educational initiative that aims to empower lives of underprivileged children who are missing out on education due to lack of facilities to attend online classes.

The Olympian will work with Smile Foundation in implementing the blended learning program for children, who have no access to internet, laptops and smartphones.  Dahiya will also be visiting Smile Foundation’s education centres during this campaign and meeting children, where he will share his experience with children and encourage them to also take up sports, which can then become a career option.

Ravi Dahiya, on his association, said, “I am happy to team up with the Smile Foundation for such a cause. I hope this campaign will help in increasing awareness about the problems faced by underprivileged children who lack facilities for online education. I also hope to motivate these children to face up the challenges caused by the pandemic."

He added, "I also would like to encourage children to start playing a sport, which can help them make a name and strong future for themselves. I would urge people to come forward and help in every possible way so that each child can attend classes and study without much difficulty.”
