Sopan Khillare | RISE Foundation, Director ,Rishikesh

My name is Rishikesh Sopan Khillare and I run the Rise Foundation at Harisal. We work on closing the gap between the people and the government so our work helps to strengthen the governmental system fulfill the needs of the people. We conduct research on education, traditional knowledge and culture of Melghat. We then analyse the data and figure out the needs of the people and in the process act as a facilitator for the government to fulfill these requirements. AirJaldi’s work in the field of Internet service connectivity and network creation has helped us not only to bring digital learning to the villages here but also given us the dream of providing quality education to the rural community through virtual classes.

AirJaldi has helped me make my decision to establish Rise Foundation’s center right here in the village of Harisal because of it’s internet network. We now conduct our research, and data analyses, keep ourselves updated on various matters, every important aspect of our work and life has improved, and it’s all thanks to AirJaldi.
