Remote villages in Manipur are infiltrated with extremists/terrorists/extortionists
If we do not send the kids in these villages to school, there is highly likely that they will pick up guns and join these extortionists groups
If we send these kids to primary school, they may go to high school and to college and to university and even to the USA
Let us give them a chance
If we do not help who else will
