Indradhanush reaches the villages of Mathura

Until 2018 Indradhanush meant the Gadhiya Lohar children of Bareilly. That December the project took its first step beyond the city, opening free education centres in three villages of Mathura district — Mavli, Saurguddar and Aru — where the Vriksh Mitra–Gram Mitra campaign had already brought the Foundation into farmers' homes.

The centres give village children free study support from good teachers in their own village, so that a lack of means does not keep them from the education that is their right. The Foundation said at the time that more villages would be added as the work grew.
