18-Year-Old Adarsh Kumar Wins Chegg.org Global Student Prize 2025
An 18-year-old from Bihar, India, Adarsh Kumar, has made headlines by winning the prestigious Chegg.org Global Student Prize 2025. This award, akin to the Global Teacher Prize, recognises young changemakers worldwide. Kumar received a $100,000 prize for his significant impact on learning and society.
Kumar's journey is one of resilience and dedication. Born into poverty, he left home at 14 to pursue education. At just 13, he launched the non-profit Mission Badlao, demonstrating his commitment to global entry. Through this initiative, Kumar has secured land for a new government school, facilitated over 2,000 COVID vaccinations, distributed menstrual health products, and planted 3,000 trees. His efforts have transformed lives and improved infrastructure in his community.
The Chegg.org Global Student Prize, established by Sunny Varkey, an entrepreneur recognised at The Asian Awards, aims to spotlight students like Kumar who are driving change and making a real difference.
Adarsh Kumar's win is a testament to his hard work and dedication. The $100,000 prize will further empower him to expand Mission Badlao's global entry. His story serves as an inspiration, proving that age and circumstances need not be barriers to creating meaningful change.
