“Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

India was once a hub of education, with a thriving Gurukul system and reputed universities like Taxila and Nalanda. However, the past few centuries have witnessed a downfall in the education system due to invasions, constant changes of rulers, and other turbulent incidents. As a result, a huge gap has emerged in the ways the upper and lower sections of the society receive education. While the upper section receives the required tutoring and training to prepare for the future, the lower section struggles to afford adequate education.

The current scenario has witnessed some improvements in government schools, which have availed necessary benefits and upgrades. However, they are still in a desperate attempt to level up. In addition, several noted private institutions are providing franchise opportunities for those with a keen desire to serve the poor and downtrodden by offering excellent education at affordable prices. One such individual who is leveraging these perks is Asha Ananthesh, who oversees Bangalore’s C V Raman Nagar branch of Little Ville Pre School and Montessori.

Asha Ananthesh's life has been marked by some truly difficult experiences. She grew up in Bangalore, blessed with a loving family and siblings. However, when she was just 14 years old, her father passed away, plunging her and her brothers into a state of despair and uncertainty. They were forced to leave school and focus on supporting the family, a tough and heartbreaking decision to make. Despite their best efforts, they still struggled to make ends meet and even had to take out a loan to cover the expenses of Asha's wedding. This was a heavy burden to bear, and it took them five long years to repay it.

“Success is not measured solely by financial gains. It is about making a meaningful impact, creating opportunities, and giving back to my community.” – Asha Ananthesh

Asha faced numerous challenges, but she didn't let them define her future. With an unwavering determination, she pursued her dreams and was driven by the desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Asha's love for children led her to pursue a career in education. She ventured into the realm of childcare and opened a branch of Little Ville Preschool in C V Raman Nagar in 2022. Her vision is to provide quality education to every child, regardless of their background.

Little Ville Preschool offers numerous benefits, including:

1. Socialization: Providing opportunities for children to interact and develop crucial social skills.

2. Cognitive Development: Engaging children in activities that foster learning and skill development.

3. Early Childhood Education: Introducing fundamental concepts in a fun and interactive manner.

4. Parental Support: Creating a supportive community for parents to connect and share experiences.

5. Fun and Enjoyment: Creating a joyful environment where children can play and explore.

6. Improved Well-being: Regular attendance promotes overall well-being and community engagement.

7. Parental Involvement: Encouraging parents to actively participate in their child's education and development.

Little Ville Preschool is a bold initiative that was started with the noble intention of uplifting young talents. In its first year, 41 students enrolled, and even more admissions are being sought for upcoming years. Asha Ananthesh stays committed to supporting and guiding those who need it most. In line with this commitment, the preschool is proud to announce that it is providing free education up to UKG for students from low-caste, SC, or ST backgrounds. This initiative aims to break down barriers to education and create equal opportunities for all children.

Asha Ananthesh's story is a tapestry woven with threads of hardship and triumph. Despite facing adversity, she refused to be defined by her circumstances and chose instead to create a legacy of empowerment and possibility. As she continues to inspire others with her resilience and determination, she embodies the true essence of courage, perseverance, and the power of dreams. In the future, she plans to establish a school that provides education for students of all backgrounds up to the 10th standard.
