OUR STORY
Built in the spirit of Government of India's Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan...
“What if being blind didn’t stop you from seeing the world?”
Rising Star Khilte Chehre was founded on a simple but radical idea: that differently-abled people deserve not just access, but adventure. Amit Jain — a Delhi-based entrepreneur with over 20 years in travel and tourism — saw a world that moved forward through globalization while millions were left behind, their horizons limited by assumption rather than ability.
In December 2018, Amit took 37 visually impaired travelers to Rishikesh. Not as a charity outing. As a journey of equals. What happened there changed everything. People felt the Ganges with their hands. They heard the rapids. They laughed louder than anyone in the camp. They came back different — and so did he.
Since that first trip, RSKC has grown into a movement — 23 initiatives, 2,000+ lives changed, 4 international expeditions — all driven by the conviction that disability is a social construct, and travel is the most powerful way to dismantle it.
