Kailash is the program officer for Kaulaunjar from Quest. Originally from Madhya Pradesh, Kailash has been a part of the project for the last two years, soon after Krishna left. With a iron will to bring about a change in the community, he has spent a lot of time building trust in the community - a virtue that reflects in the easy-going relationship he has now with every person in the village.
