Founder and Brain behind the social concepts
DEEPER is the brainchild of Harish Butle, a noted Social entrepreneur, Educationist and Social worker who believes each deserving student must be given an equal and facility to compete in a fair manner.
Watch Harish Butle speak about DEEPER’s vision and journey.
Even as Harish Butle aims to take both DEEPER, SIR Foundation and Saad Manuskichi Foundation from strength to strength, the edifice of his work is based on his two and half decade long stint as teacher, educational counselor and noted social worker. These roles equip him to truly grasp the student’s concerns, hopes and aspirations. He is also the Founder-President of the Mahaparents, the pressure group formed by parents, against malpractices in the educational field.
