For the past three years, social impact creator Siddhesh Lokare has been on the road — not for fame, but for a cause. His camera and compassion have taken him deep into the heart of Maharashtra, where schools stand quietly forgotten. “I create content around anything that involves human-based storytelling, cause-based storytelling, initiative-based storytelling, or anything in regards to humanity in itself,” he says.

For the last month, he’s been on Mission 30303, which stands for 30 days, 30 schools, and Rs 3 crore. Lokare hopes to empower 30 government schools across the state — institutions that, as he puts it, “are doing amazing, but are also struggling in their own ways, infrastructure-wise, facilities-wise, amenities-wise.” His goal is to make crowdfunding “cool and relatable” while raising '3 crore in 30 days for everything from benches and toilets to AI and robotics labs.
