aims
to
provide
quality
education

is
associated
with
about
11
states
in
India.
I
hope
at
some
point
of
time
to
be
able
to
visit
at
all
places
where
Save
the
Children
works
and
see
for
myself
how
much
help
I
can
be
of
and
also
in
every
possible
way
create
awareness
about
how
important
education
is
in
our
country," said
priyanka
chopra,
Bollywood
actress
Sotirio
Bulgari,
the
company's
founder
specially
created
a
silver
ring

the
campaign
and
presented
it

the

Chopra
committed
her
support
to
the
cause

wearing
the
ring
at
the
news
conference.
The
ring
would
be
available

all
Bulgari
stores
for
Rupees
21,000.
"What
we
need
in
India
is
for
many
issues
regarding
status
quo.
What
we
need
is
someone
to
challenge
the
status
quo
and
someone
to
build
awareness
and
that's
what
precisely
Priyanka
brings
to
the
table
in
this
association," said
Sotirio
Bulgari.
However
all
the
initiatives
connected
with
the
operation
will
be
non-profit
for
the
Bulgari
Group.

12
million
children
under
14
years
of
age

domestic
servants
or
other
