This is what Rohit Ohri, Group Chairman & CEO, FCB India said about the project - "Open Door is a breakthrough project that seeks to help solve for the education crisis that India is facing. Over 25 million children don't have access to quality education. Millennium schools and FCB Ulka partnered to promote the idea of 'second shift' schools. Schools which opened again after hours to provide underprivileged children with quality education. Through this project, we hope to inspire many more schools to open their doors to these young hungry minds. If this project is successful, it has the power to make the future of India much brighter."
