Raipur: In a bid to change the lives of plenty of underprivileged kids in Chhattisgarh’s Balod district, a school teacher has been providing them with technology-enabled education for more than a decade.
Government school teacher, Ishwari Kumar Sinha began his efforts in 2011 by buying a small sound system to help children with technology.
“There were 300 students in the school when I was posted here in 2008. The government funds were utilised for the fundamental needs of the school. So to acquaint these kids with technology, I bought a small sound system in 2011,” Sinha was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Sinha had spent around ₹8 lakh in the last 13 years and was helped by another school teacher and panchayat in his noble initiative.
On how the idea dawned in him, Sinha said he himself belonged to a village in Rajim where they were no facilities and so he wanted to make a change for these kids.
Sinha has been involved in teaching kids at home for a year now as the schools are shut in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Ishwari Kumar Sinha has been doing good work in the field of education. He takes a personal interest in his students. He understands technology and educates the students with the help of the same. His devotion to education is an example for other teachers here,” Balod District Collector, Janmejay Mahobe was quoted as saying by the agency.
