Nalini Gangadharan, who started her work on empowering the youth through education in Andhra Pradesh in 2005, has now educated more than 10,000 students across the country. Lighting the lives of drop-out kids, Nalini Gangadharan is awakening the society. She is raising a ray of hope in dark lives of pupils who were unfortunate to get formal education. Youngsters who dropped out of school owing to family and financial constraints are able to finish their education in Cap Foundation. And they can only thank Nalini Gangandharan, the founder of Cap Foundation, for this endeavour. Nalini Gangadgaran says, "We give the youngsters options of studying at nominal fees, working thereafter, and then studying the next level. It's not about sympathy but about empowering them."

Lighting the lives of drop-out kids, Nalini Gangadharan is awakening the society. She is raising a ray of hope in dark lives of pupils who were unfortunate to get formal education. Youngsters who dropped out of school owing to family and financial constraints are able to finish their education in Cap Foundation. And they can only thank Nalini Gangandharan, the founder of Cap Foundation, for this endeavour. Nalini Gangadgaran says, "We give the youngsters options of studying at nominal fees, working thereafter, and then studying the next level. It's not about sympathy but about empowering them." And Shilpa is an example of that empowerment. After her education with Gangadharan's foundation, she went back to her village and addressed civic issues like the stench emanating from open manholes. Shilpa says, "We went to the village officials who didn't take any action. With the help of villagers we bought a manhole cover. The officials felt humiliated and soon got all other manholes covered." The students, who till recently were bonded to menial jobs for survival, now hope for a future of dignity and success. Nalini says, "We have an alumni club where we have seen these 'drop-out' students growing to become leaders. I refused to believe they are not intelligent. My objective is to give them all a level playing field. And that's not sympathy, it's just being fair." Having roped in several corporates and private hospitals, Nalini Gangadharan also manages to train these students in a corporate environment. Following her motto of "linking learning and livelihood", she often opens up the first window of opportunity in otherwise forgotten lives."
