About Delhi Dynamic Round Table 157 : Delhi Dynamic Round Table (DDRT) 157 is a part of Round Table India, with 18 active members coming from different professional and business backgrounds. We are one of the leading tables of Northern India. In continuation of the ‘Freedom Through Education’ project of Round Table India; DDRT 157 had initiated a project and made a big facility - Literacy India at Village Bajghera, Gurgaon (Haryana). Literacy India moved to the fully equipped new school building in 2008. Nestled among lush landscape, the environment provides great encouragement and motivation to both the students and the teachers. Currently we have 400 students. With the success of the school building as well as the facilities given to these under-privileged children, many of the less-privileged people are approaching us to enroll their children in the school. Importance to the Girl Child is never forgotten and gates are forever open to the poorest of the poor who are eager to learn.
