This method of leaning was first introduced by The principal, Shyam Kishore Gandhiin Mohalla classes, which was followed by others.
The decision was taken to teach the students who have not yet started going to Anganwadi centres due to the lockdown.The village walls are being painted with English and Hindi letters along with the picture of fruits, animals, vegetables.
As per the statement from Shyam Kishore Gandhi, the initiative aims to prepare the students, who are eligible for admission to ‘Angawari’ centers, but they could not be admitted due to the pandemic. So, it will help to prepare the children for admission directly to primary schools without getting admission in ‘Angarwari’ Centres as they have already lost one year.
Presently, the wall painting has been completed at more than 30 places of Kathi Para Tola in Bankathi for which I had to invest a total of Rs 6000 from my own pocket just for the sake of the future of my students.
