I remember with nostalgic feeling the day my mother held my hand one morning and took me to a nearby school in our village and left me there. I cried my heart out and wanted to ran back home. What I didn’t know then is that, it was the beginning of a long journey in my life.
When children start to walk they fall several times, and when they succeed, it is a major milestone in their lives. Success doesn’t come easily. In their falls, what matters is their resilience in trying again and again. In our learning journey, we can draw from this. My rural connection has given me an opportunity to widely visit many rural schools. There is a stark contrast between the learning conditions in rural and urban areas.
