Kamal Prakash founded Dakshini Prayash along with Nalini Mukherjee 30 years ago, and has therefore been essential to the success of the school. His favourite thing about the school is its success in imparting the free but holistic and quality education model despite challenges and doubts about the school’s sustenance. The “purity of thought and action” has proven to people that less economically privileged individuals can still access the standard of education Dakshini Prayash provides.

Kamal sees himself as a “visionary” and constantly looking for ways for Dakshini Prayash to grow. Officially, he is one of the Executive Committee members and Chairman of Education. When asked about his favourite moment during his 30 years at Dakshini Prayash, he replied that although he didn’t have one in particular, when he’s with the staff and local people, he realises that he’s able to channel his effort into something worthwhile. For him, improving the lives of others is something that inspires him to approach each day with an open mindset.

As a visionary, Kamal works frequently with his wife and President of Dakshini Prayash, Anubhuti Prakash, as well as the teachers, staff and Senior and Junior Board. However, he adds that the school is always trying to expand its number of volunteers as it goes through its journey. He is hopeful that this will allow the school to benefit other members of society as it has helped current students and their families.
