Mr. Biju BP, a professional from the banking industry, decided to venture into Social Service. He quit his corporate job with Axis Bank to empower the girl children, through education in India. With his trusted companion, a Royal Enfield motorcycle, he started his journey from Kanyakumari on the 1st of January 2024, meeting students in schools, colleges, universities, villages, etc conducting motivating workshops on the theme.
Oprah Winfrey Once Said,
“Education Is The Key To Unlocking The World. It Is The Passport To Freedom.”
And unfortunately, many girls in India do not have access to this key or passport. GETE (Girl Empowerment Through Education) is an initiative brought to life by Biju BP to offer mentorship and equip girls with the resources to brighten their future and make their dreams a reality. In his career, he has seen how education gives power to the one wielding it. And he strongly believes, that no one should have the disadvantage where this power is concerned. Education has changed the world in ways that nothing else ever could, altering mindsets and breaking down social barriers and stereotypes. His workshops and programs are tailored to fit the needs of the different girls he encounters on his journey.
Biju BP, a professional from the banking industry who decided to venture into a journey never done before. After 25 years in banking, he took a bold step and retired voluntarily as Branch Head at Axis Bank in July 2023. He is an Alumni of IIM Kozhikode where he has completed the Senior Management Programme. He also holds a Post-graduation in Sociology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism and Mass communication.
Empowering girl children is a subject close to his heart.
This is a journey across the nervous system of our country that is bound to be a challenge but one he happily welcomes. He hopes to engage with different communities and understand the diverse culture spanning the country while educating people and impacting society. The social cause he has chosen to promote through this trip is ‘Girl Empowerment Through Education’ (GETE) – providing girls with resources and knowledge to make their mark in this world and encourage them to fly high.
This travel is assisted by The Rotary Club, wherever they have a strong base.
The objective is to inspire girls to feel confident, focus on education, and think big.
