IAS Vinit Nandanwar-led 'Second Chance’ initiative transformed the lives of many students in Naxal-affected areas of Chhattisgarh like Bastar and Dantewada. Vinit, the first IAS officer from Bastar, ensured that the lack of facilities in Naxal-affected areas would not impede children from realising their dreams. In 2023, because of his vision, 65 students cleared exams like NEET and JEE.
