Khifayatullah Malik’s story
About Khifayatullah Malik’s story
Khifayatullah Malik’s story is tale of a transformation which is silently rippling through Kashmir as barrels are fast replacing by books. He comes from a district often branded by the scars of terrorism, yet he has chosen to fight a very different battle—the battle of ignorance with the weapon of education. In a place where young minds are most vulnerable to the lure of violence, he gathers children under modest shelters, teaching them not just lessons from books but the value of hope, dignity, and dreams. His quiet rebellion against despair is both courageous and cinematic— he came over financial hurdles to become educated and since then through his relentless efforts, Malik has helped re-enrol more than 700 children who had dropped out of school due to financial hardships.
