In the village of Salki Sitaguda in Kandhamal District, lives a bright and determined boy named Babusan Paltsing. He is 14 years old and studying in Class 8. His father works as a mason, his mother is a housewife, and he has one brother and one sister. Life in his village was very difficult—the schools were far away, there were no proper facilities for education, and many people around were addicted to alcohol. His family could not focus on the children’s future due to poverty.

When Babusan came to Naba Asha, his life began to change. He found a safe and nurturing environment where he could study well, live with discipline, enjoy good food, participate in daily devotions, and do regular physical exercise. Hostel life has given him the opportunity to grow, learn, and live happily with other children.

Babusan’s favorite subjects are Science and Mathematics, and he dreams of becoming an engineer one day. With the guidance and support at Naba Asha, Babusan is steadily moving toward achieving his dream, full of hope and determination.
