A report by UNESCO indicates that 272 million children and youth worldwide are currently out of school, despite education being their strongest pathway to a better future. For many of these, the barrier is the lack of access to resources and the right care. They are bright, ambitious, and capable, yet circumstances beyond their control often stand in the way. This gap between potential and opportunity is where collective responsibility must step in.

Ebix, under the guidance of Dr. Vikas Garg, the Chairman of Ebix | Vikas Group, ensures that children with potential shouldn’t be held back by circumstance. One such initiative brought us closer to that belief. We reached out to children from underserved backgrounds, those who fight daily for educational access despite challenging home situations such as fathers battling alcoholism, mothers working as domestic help to sustain families, homes affected by domestic violence, and more. Due to this, some children are forced into early work, others into caring for younger siblings, while many go to school hungry or return to homes that offer no safety or space to study. These struggles often mean that education takes a back seat to survival. This initiative was just one way of showing that belief in action, but the greater responsibility lies with all of us.

As he often emphasizes, responsibility begins when we see potential where others see limitation. This is a one step in a broader journey of social responsibility, reminding us we all have a role to play. These initiatives may not transform lives instantly, but they plant seeds of possibility and belief that grow over time. The faces that lit up, the questions they asked, and the hope they carried all showed us that opportunity matters.

Each one of us, individuals, organizations, or communities, can contribute. Whether through mentorship, resource sharing, volunteering, or simply listening, every act makes a difference. When we act together, responsibility transforms into change.

Through his leadership and guidance, he ensured that the program went beyond financial aid. It was about giving these young individuals the dignity, encouragement, and recognition they deserve. This perspective has been frequently discussed in Vikas Garg News, underscoring how leadership rooted in compassion can create ripples of change across communities.

Speaking on this, Vikas Garg said, “We aim to create a meaningful and lasting impact for underserved communities by helping them transcend the barriers of socio-economic development. Through initiatives like this, we strive to improve lives, promote education, and encourage healthier lifestyles, supporting holistic growth through the right care and resources.”

As often reflected, his leadership emphasizes action rooted in empathy. His vision reminds us all that leadership is not about doing everything alone, but about inspiring collective responsibility. So, we extend the same invitation: Let’s all take responsibility for an inclusive tomorrow. True change begins when each of us decides to act.
