The Vislavath Lalunayak Memorial Knowledge Centre was established with a vision to transform the lives of marginalized communities, inspired by the profound impact that education had on my own life and that of my siblings. Despite my parents’ lack of formal education, they made the crucial decision to send us to school. Although we never fully understood their motivation at the time, their choice reshaped our futures. Education is a powerful tool for change, especially for those without access to resources such as land or wealth. My siblings and I grew up facing significant challenges, yet we persevered in our educational journey. We empathize deeply with students from marginalized backgrounds, who often lack basic necessities like electricity, furniture, or access to newspapers and other educational materials. Our initial plan was to create a library in honor of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to offer a dedicated space for reading and learning. Unfortunately, our request to use Dr. Ambedkar’s name was denied by the registration officials, citing his status as a national leader. Undeterred, we chose to name the centre after my father, Vislavath Lalunayak, who, despite being a daily wage worker and enduring many hardships, always encouraged us to pursue education and rise above our circumstances. Today, we are proud to carry forward his legacy through the Vislavath Lalunayak Memorial Knowledge Centre. Our goal is to provide a peaceful and supportive environment where individuals can gain knowledge, develop life skills, engage in academic discussions, and contribute to nation-building.

With a generous donation of 300 yards of land from my father, we are committed to transforming this space into a vibrant hub for learning and personal growth. We believe that with collective effort and support, the Vislavath Lalunayak Memorial Knowledge Centre can become a beacon of hope and opportunity for all who seek a brighter future. Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.
