A remote village in the town of Sikar, Rajasthan has set an example of promoting the education. In the village, Sarpanch volunteers as
Teacher and locals donate the money to create and maintain the infrastructure of the school. Their initiative has been so successful that the students from the nearby private school have started moving to this government school.
At present, the government school is equipped with the CCTV cameras and digital classrooms. The school has also delivered 100 percent result in the Rajasthan senior secondary board examination this year.
"Locals were motivated to assist in improving the school infrastructure and they have donated nearly Rs. 20 lakh in five years. The school infrastructure has been improved with spending of Rs. 19 lakh so far," Vinod Sharma, principal of the school in Holya Ka Baas village, said.
He further said that the result of class 12 had been consistently 100 percent from past three years and this year class 10 result was also 100 percent.
Vinod Sharma further said that the improvement in the results further gave a much-needed boost to the culture of education in the village. He proudly said that the school has nearly 425 students and more than half of the students are girls.
"I started a motivation drive nearly five years ago and approached the well-to-do people and encouraged them to help in improving the school
infrastructure," the principal said. And over the year, we have added fans to CCTV cameras and water coolers in the school.
The school also has a digital classroom and a 400-meter running track to help the students prepare for the physical tests.
Additional classes for the weaker students are also conducted by the school and village Sarpanch, Kailash Chand Verma, teaches Sanskrit.
"There was no teacher for Sanskrit for Class 10, so the result of this subject in Class 10 was low. I started teaching for one hour daily a couple of years ago. I also taught last year to ensure that our students secure good marks," Sarpanch Kailash Chand Verma, a B.Ed in Sanskrit, said.
"In the past four years, nearly 100 students studying in private schools in nearby Srimadhopur town took admission in our school which indicates that people are impressed with the result and performance of the school," he added.
