For their developments and efforts, 44 teachers across the country were Sunday honoured with the National Award for Teachers by the Ministry of Education in a virtual ceremony commanded by President Ram Nath Kovind.

Enrollment in the school has increased from 188 to 293 given that Duda joined.

When Sora took charge as head of his school in 2018, it had no water system. His school lies in a cops nest, and he found the pipelines had been eliminated. “I requested for a meeting with senior-most law enforcement officer and required that this be corrected. The SP got it repaired and provided orders specifying that the pipe can not be removed. There was a lack of furniture, just chalkboards and no white boards, no computers. I got everything organized,” he stated.

” When my kids ended up being of school-going age, I registered them in this school itself. This encouraged a great deal of people. I worked on offering quality education and in 2016, we began teaching in the English medium,” he stated.

Kaderla moved to the village of Sawarkheda in 2010 as its schools only teacher. He says he was able to do this by “changing the attitude of the villagers to the school” and by making the school his world.

One of Duttas main objectives was to bring more women into the school. When she joined it in 2005, there were barely a couple of girls in any class.

” I fulfilled parents and asked to send their children to school, informing them that they might not have had the opportunity but their children have an opportunity at a different life. Now the ratio in our school is around 60 women to 40 kids,” she stated.

As an English teacher working with first-generation student Adivasi kids who have no direct exposure to English outside the class, Shuklas primary technique has been to “teach English as a language, and not a subject”.
