HORIZON NEXT Horizon next was founded in year 2007 by Mr. Surendra Kumar Choudhary (Police officer) and Mr. Manish Sharma (An Actor). Both of them are working independently in our own respective fields but a constant inner call never let them settle down in their life, it was a call to justify their birth, their existence and to repay back what god has given to them. Altough Mr. Choudhary was a police officer but not with heart, their was some other person in him, who writes poetry, stories and think for all who are at some point stay behind due to various reasons. This let him start working for Kids to explore them and let them explore their own world, he set up a small school in the police station he was posted, the money for books and other facilities for children were pooled by different officials and then the most important part of teaching children was taken care by Mr. Choudhary, he himself became a teacher, playing with kids, working on different projects and let them learn.

Later on other officials also joined him and this project was a great success, the most special part was that none of the kids had been to school before that, they were into their family works, most of them were good singers (Mangniyars) a tribe in Rajasthan, famous for their style of Folk Singing. Children for these families continue their family traditions of becoming a singer and then they never thought of having a basic education, due to unawareness they fall into practicing various activities like smoking at a very early age, drinking, even range upto drugs and sexual exploitation and abuse.

On the other side Manish Sharma was into traditional folk theatre and was highly impressed by the folk culture of India, he started his journey with some of the big names in theatre in India and later on felt that if we wont start of thinking about the Folk culture and traditions of the country now, soon they will be lost in history somewhere. His constant zeal to enrich the excisting art forms of the tribals which includes singing, dancing, worshipping their local deities, festivals and different colours of life of tribals and villagers led him to start working with childrens from these Tribal localities, he thinks that through children we can take this culture much ahead and with some new essence in that, without loosing its originality.

Thus they both taking their goals ahead start Horizon Next in order to search for the new beginning. Read more - Website (horizonnext.com)
