Surat, (Gujarat) [India], January 11 (ANI/GIPR): India is facing a severe problem with regard to childhood diseases.
According to the National Family Health Surve-5 (2019-2021), childhood malnutrition remains a major cause of child mortality in the country.

In the past 4 years, Hitesh has been instrumental in getting more than 700 such children get admitted to reputed schools around the diamond city. He facilitates their admission process, pays for their tuition fees, and sometimes for their uniforms and textbooks as well. Thanks to his efforts, these children are not only receiving the benefits of good education, but through various government schemes, their families are also able to eat two square meals a day.
Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh born Hitesh, who is involved in manufacturing and supply of aluminium products, admits that helping children belonging to a poor background study in good schools gives him "immense joy and pleasure." However, his goal in life is to make such families aware of various schemes and projects launched by the Central and State governments so that they don't need any outside help to lead a self-sufficient life.
