Krishna's Dedication: When one’s students inspire change

"I couldn’t let my schedule interfere with their progress. They deserve my full attention."

At eVidyaloka, our mission to provide quality education to students in rural India is driven by the extraordinary efforts of our volunteers. One such volunteer is Krishna, whose dedication and passion for teaching go beyond the usual, inspiring both his students and peers. Krishna, who teaches 6th-grade English grammar at ZPHS Amruthanagar, has made a lasting impact not just with his teaching skills, but with the personal sacrifices he has made to ensure his students receive uninterrupted, high-quality education.

For Krishna, the journey with eVidyaloka has been more than just about delivering lessons. Understanding the challenges that rural students face and recognizing the importance of consistency in their learning, he knew that his role was vital in keeping the momentum going. However, like many volunteers, Krishna faced a time crunch due to his full-time job, making it difficult to find a balance between his professional and teaching commitments.

Instead of letting this challenge stand in the way, Krishna made an inspiring decision—he adjusted his office hours to fit around his teaching schedule. By shifting his workday to accommodate his classes, Krishna ensured that his students’ education came first. This selfless act speaks volumes about his commitment to the cause of educating rural children. "The children's enthusiasm to learn motivates me every day," Krishna shares. "I couldn’t let my schedule interfere with their progress. They deserve my full attention."

Krishna’s efforts have made a noticeable difference in his students' learning outcomes. He has observed his students’ growing confidence in English, with better participation in class and improved understanding of grammar concepts. Parents and local community members have also praised Krishna's dedication, appreciating how he has gone above and beyond to make sure their children don’t miss out on quality education.

Krishna’s story is just one example of the many unsung heroes behind eVidyaloka's mission. Volunteers like him embody the true spirit of selflessness, ensuring that no matter the circumstances, education for rural children remains a priority. His determination to adjust his life for the benefit of his students is a testament to the incredible role our volunteers play in transforming young minds.

At eVidyaloka, we are incredibly proud of volunteers like Krishna, whose dedication drives the mission forward. It is their passion, resilience, and belief in the power of education that make a lasting difference in the lives of the children they teach.
