The Covid-19 🦠 pandemic has cut a swathe through many families impacting their daily lives. One of the most affected were children who lost their right to education due to financial difficulties. Belagavi district saw an unprecedented rise in the number of school and college dropouts during these difficult times.
After the second lockdown, according to Mr. Kiran Nippanikar, the dropout rate drastically increased due to parents losing their jobs and the first expense to be slashed was the child’s education. Due to immense financial stress the parents were unable to pay fees and there were young children who hadn’t even been enrolled in school.
The added impetus of temporary school closures due to Covid-19 amplified the challenges of sending the child to school/college.
When matters came to a Mr Shivkant Sidnal (MD Aditya Milk) took stock of the situation and supported needy families with ration kits and milk throughout the lockdown. They didn’t stop at this. When Mr. Kiran Nippanikar directed their notice to the high incidence of dropouts due to families being unable to pay fees, the management swung into action immediately.

Mr. Shivkant Sidnal , MD, (Vijaykant Dairy & Food Products Limited ) Aditya Milk, said, “Why should a child be deprived of an education just because
of lack of financial means. When we can afford to fulfil our child’s educational dreams, why shouldn’t we help another reach for the stars too.”
