India's vision to emerge as a global leader--India @ 2047 Vikasit Bharat (Ref 1) --offers a unique opportunity for students, especially from marginalized backgrounds, to play a pivotal role in national development. Government school students, who comprise over 50% of the school-going population and largely come from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, possess untapped potential that can be harnessed through transformative education. This study presents a case analysis of ZPHS Jonnavalasa, (Ref 2) a government school in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh- India, where a pilot project was implemented using the "Acharya Kalam's National Human Transformative Model" (Ref 3). The initiative, led by Dr Nalla Boina Sudershan Acharya, Founder, Lead India Foundation (Ref 4), and team focused on training and mentoring students as Change Agents, guiding them through a structured "Aap Badho Desh Ko Badhao" ((You Develop, Nation Develops) (Ref 5) training program encompassing human values, goal setting, personality development leadership and Patriotism. The research model analyzes the impacts of the intervention on students' inner dimensions development across physical, mental, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual domains. It further explores the ripple effect on the school day to day extracurricular activities where students take up responsibilities of different groups changing environment, peer groups, and community. This model aligns with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 (Ref 6) and supports UNO Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (Ref 7) . Goal No 1 - No Poverty and Goal No 4-Quality Education. The findings showcase how these students not only transformed themselves but also influenced their peers, families, and school environments and communities. Further indicate measurable changes in student behaviour, academic performance, leadership, and civic responsibility, highlighting the model's potential scalability for broader national adoption. This study is authored jointly by Dr. Nalla Boina Sudershan Acharya, Principal Investigator and Founder of Lead India Foundation (Ref 12 ); Dr. Vijaya Laxmi Gannavarapu, Headmistress of ZPHS Jonnavalasa and Project Coordinator; and supported by Dr. Kommu Naveen Kumar, Lead India Alumni.
