In the village of Ambtha in Kalahandi District, lives a determined boy named Arpan Nag. He is 13 years old and studying in Class 8. His father is a farmer, his mother a housewife, and he has one brother and one sister. Life in his village was not easy—his father’s income was very low, and his mother had little opportunity to think about her children’s future. The school was far away, and daily survival was their main concern.

When Arpan came to Naba Asha, his life took a new turn. Here, he found a safe home, quality education, and the chance to grow. He enjoys hostel life, where he lives with discipline, daily devotions, physical exercise, and good food, while sharing life with friends in well-arranged accommodation.

Arpan’s favorite subject is Mathematics, and he dreams of joining the Indian Army. He wants to serve his country and make his family proud. With the guidance and opportunities at Naba Asha, Arpan is taking each step carefully toward achieving his dream.
