Patwa Toli: A village that has become an inspiration for the entire nation
Patwa Toli, a village in Gaya district, Bihar, was once considered poor and underdeveloped. Most families were economically disadvantaged, education was not prioritized, and many children dropped out of school. However, the situation has drastically changed.
Patwa Toli is no longer just a village; it has become an educational hub. It is now being referred to as "Bihar's Kota" – because dozens of its children are passing challenging engineering and medical entrance exams every year.
How does Vriksha Foundation work?
Vriksha Foundation has taken the initiative to strengthen education in Patwa Toli and surrounding areas. The organization provides deserving but economically weak students with:
- Free coaching classes
- Study materials and notes
- Mock tests and online test series
- Career guidance sessions
- Motivational talks and mentorship
Patwa Toli – Now more than just a village, it's an identity
Patwa Toli has become an inspiration not just for Bihar but for the entire country. It demonstrates that if society works together diligently, the image of any village can be transformed.
Today, the name Patwa Toli evokes images of education, hard work, and success.
Expectations from the government and society
Patwa Toli's success is not just a village story; it's a message for the entire society. If the government and society support such initiatives, similar stories can emerge from every corner of the country.
The government should support such NGOs and create special schemes for villages where children are eager to learn but lack resources.
