It was on 22
July when an NGO called “Human Mercy” asked me to attend a program in Kanker in
Chhattisgarh meant for the rural students to discuss on English Grammar. Initially,
I was bit hesitant and tried to get the things around but in vain. I met with a
group of students of std. 9 and 10 and discussed with them as per the schedule
they have.
I was told by
the concerned authority that they studied in different villages and were
educated with the limited sources that were made available to them. Yet, the
amount of intelligence and sharpness were far better that that of the students
studying in various top-brass schools here in Chhattisgarh. They showed truly unmatched
intelligence.
I must say “Hats
off to the teachers for making this possible.” I am sure parents of such
children were not educated and aware enough to give them what they deserve. I
have been told about the student that they are from poor back ground and the government
is making every possible effort to impart them a quality education. I have also been told that their last batch
cracked many coveted competitive exams which the students from town dreamt of.
Big credit
goes to efforts made by an NGO called PRAYAS which has hit the headlines
recently for helping the students of remote villages to crack IITs and other competitive
exams.
Well, I had
the privilege of speaking and addressing such group of children here in Kanker.
Best wishes
to all for their endeavor !
