Mr. Nayak was born into a lower-class family at Kendrapoda, Odisha. He lives with his three brothers and two sisters. where his father is the sole earner and 7 people, including his mother, rely on him. His father was a jobholder at OMCO in Kolkata. He had always been an open-minded and thoughtful child. Like other lower-class families, he also always thinks about how he grew up fast and helped his father like others do. In this way, he thought that he could solve their family crises. Year after year, they adjust to an unwelcome crisis, but he always believes that one day they will be out of this crisis and living their lives.
According To Mr. A.K. Nayak Why Education Is Important?
He excelled in school when he was little, and his siblings are all strong students. One day his father came to the house in a sad mood and shoulders down with hopelessness. At first, he couldn’t understand why his father was like this since he had never seen him before. A few months later, when everyone is relieved that their father is back with them, he is the only one who understands why. So, one day, he made the decision to learn the cause of his father’s grief. When he went to her to learn more about his position, her mother informed him with regret that his father had lost his work in Kolkata. He was so clever that he didn’t ask her mother anymore and went to his father to discuss the concerns: should they stop studying and start working for the family’s betterment? Father said I can do what I can do, but all of us must stay together to survive this situation. Then he said, “Don’t worry, father, we can manage everything; we are with you.” Following that, they all began working and studying together. Because of that struggle, he is able to get a job at the CRPF as a “havildar.” All his siblings also got into a very good job for their hard work.
How 360 Degree Social & Educational Trust get Started?
Mr. A.K. Nayak married a beautiful, humorous, and supportive lady who vowed to stand by him for the rest of his life after he got a job with the CRPF. Meanwhile, he was blessed with two children. These kids, like him, are extremely gifted. During his services to the country, he was so proud to be in this profession, but at the core of his being, there is one question that continuously bothers him about his childhood struggles, and he is so concerned about it. On his way home one day, he noticed a lady selling snacks packets on the street and also supplying supplies to the running buses, and her daughter was sitting on the streetside studying and caring for her younger sibling beside her.
This situation affected his inner thoughts and forced him to do something about these poor kids, who want to learn but don’t have the proper support to do so. So, he decided to quit his job and devote his time to SAMAJ SEVA (social work). Now is the time to convince his family first. Every moment I spent with you was special, but now it’s time for me to devote the rest of my life to assisting needy students in achieving their goals through proper learning methods. But after listening to his thoughts, his family was also very proud of him. As of now he formed a trust called ‘’ 360 Degree Social & Educational Trust’’.
Challenges faced in managing the trust!
After the formation of the trust, Mr. A.K. Nayak was still struggling to get it managed properly, so he started a house renovation contract to collect some funds, and finally, after so many ups and downs, he got a place at Kulasarichuan, Sarichuan, Cuttack, Odisha, to establish a FREE EDUCATION/COMPUTER COACHING INSTITUTE. Which was proudly inaugurated by the normal people like street Baggers. For this, he invested all his savings and collected funds to build it for the poor, and now he spends all his money pension on them to educate them properly. Since then, he was support by his family for funds also.
