Testimonial
Sanjay Gupta
CEO, English Helper
I have been associated with RS Foundation since its inception and seen it grow from strength to strength. What began as honouring Mr. Rakesh Singh's memory, it has become something he would have been proud of Dr. Vandana Singh's experience, integrity, and single minded focus has ensured that literally millions of students benefit from access to digital education. The Foundation has been able to tie up with important outreach initiatives such as that of Apollo Hospital and make sure they become accessible to people who need them the most. The NGO sector is filled with good people shining in different capacities spearing light in darkness, the work of RSF stands out as it works to form connections between these different causes, amplifying their affect manifold.
