Swamy and friends

What inspires a 74 year old to settle down in a small village and train children, so that they are able to get equal opportunity to good quality private schooling? "Destiny", says former economist GK Swamy, who has brought about a quiet revolution in the village of Purkal, almost 20 kms away from Dehradun. Swamy and his wife, who settled in Purkal 10 years ago, after Swamy's retirement, have started a unique bridge centre at this village that is helping more than 140 children realise their dreams.
