The English School of Learning, established by Mohd Maksud Aalam in 1984 in Nirsa, caters exclusively to these children and helps them become responsible citizens. Meritorious students are denied admission, said Aalam. The school started with just one student but has grown in number with over 800 students now. "We charge a nominal fee of Rs 160 or Rs 200 depending on the class the student is admitted into. We do not charge a readmission, annual or development fee," said tuitions are strictly prohibited for students. School teachers are deputed free of cost. School records reveal that no student has failed in 30 years with over 70% of students scoring a first class. Students are picked up and dropped by teachers or other staff. Aalam decided to build this school because he too fought the odds to complete his studies. "I would work in a hotel when I was in school but still continued my studies. I realized that there many children who may be deprived from completing their studies owing to their financial status or lack of guidance. I have devoted my life for the cause of masses. I want to provide affordable and quality education to students. I want students to have a strong moral foundation," said Maksud. Parents are grateful that their children are given a second chance.

While talking to TOI, Bharti said he joined the school in class VII. Before joining, he would study in a government school in Bihar and was a below average student. Failing to clear exams, Bharti's parents decided to enroll him into the school. "I would not have continued with studies had it not been for the guidance of Maksud Sir" said Bharti. School alumni are actively involved with the school and do not pass off the opportunity to motivate students during their visit.
