Teachers have the power to positively influence students’ developing minds. This is real and has been repeatedly demonstrated by a teacher in the Chhattisgarh region of Kanker.
It has been the success of Gaukaran Pradhan, a teacher sent to the Nilegondi village in the Kanker district, to mold the developing brains of kids there and to motivate them to serve their country.
Pradhan said, “When I got posting at Nilegondi, the literacy of the village was very poor and only one person in the village had passed class 8. Due to the lack of education, children were not able to differentiate between wrong and right.”
The teacher further said that he hadn’t realized the enormous obligation that was required to shape the future of the village students until a child, Pila Bai Netam stated that she wanted to become a Naxalite in his class.
