He is a teacher and at the age of sixteen, he was named as the \u201cyoungest headmaster in the world\u201d by BBC on October 2009.<\/p>\n<p>He began teaching when he was just 9 years old, just as a hobby, but gradually it became a passion for him to teach as many children as possible. His dream was to teach them at a larger scale, to spread knowledge and education.<\/p>\n<p>He started a school of his own with a current count of 10 teachers and 800 children. The school fees are very economical for the poor children and which has certainly helped these kids to learn, educated and grow.<\/p>\n<p>The school has been recognized to increase literacy rates in India. As there are no schools and colleges in Murshidabad, children&#8217;s from neighbour villages walk 4 km every day to attend his lectures.\u00a0The Bengali-medium school, recognized (but unaided) by West Bengal Board of Secondary Education in 2012, offered education from Class 1 to Class VIII.<\/p>\n<p>He was awarded the NDTV \u2018Indian of the year\u2019 award and Literacy Hero award by Rotary India Literacy Mission and recently featured in \u2018Forbes Asia\u2019 in their 30 under 30 lit as a \u2018social Entrepreneur\u2019. He has also received the Education leadership award by BBC Knowledge. His contribution has become a part of the syllabus in the English textbook for 10th standard.<\/p>\n<p>He was also quoted saying<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will take the UPSC exams to fulfill my father\u2019s dream, but my own dream is to teach children till my last breath,\u201d Babar says. \u201cI want to see each and every child educated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the inspiring story of a young guy- Babar Ali, for whom his age was not important but doing something for the poor children in terms of their education was important.
