In September of 2016, Mr. Abhishek Shukla – paediatrician, Abhishek Shukla, became aware of the situation in the slums and was determined to help. In response, Abhishek began to treat patients living in Jhuggi Basti and on footpaths. When having to expand his area of work, Abhishek found the need to visit the slums more frequently. On being forced to wade through the mud, garbage, and filth that surrounded the diminutive shelters, Abhishek was horrified at the difficulty that the people had to live in. After noticing that the same condition in several areas around Allahabad, he concluded that slums were also evidently hindering the level of education being provided to the Slum Children.

Shuruaat is an organization that targets the real issue; Slum Education, while still being sensitive to the complex issues the child might have to deal with when living under the International Poverty line. These difficulties may include domestic violence, insufficient money or food, child labour, poor medical care, etc.
