Pillars of Support: Stories of eVidyaloka’s Class Assistants

At eVidyaloka, the seamless functioning of each virtual classroom relies on the collaborative efforts of numerous individuals. Among them, Class Assistants (CAs) play a crucial role. Serving as the link between students and remote volunteer teachers, their efforts significantly enrich the overall learning experience. The dedication CAs demonstrate often surpasses their formal roles, reflecting their genuine commitment to both the work and the mission it serves.

Geetanjali Sahoo, the Class Assistant at GUHS Dhanpur in Odisha, stands out for her unwavering dedication and professionalism. Her consistent efforts have earned her well-deserved praise, including appreciation from the school Headmaster.

She arrives on time every day and ensures that all classroom arrangements are ready before the online sessions begin. Thanks to her attentive coordination, classes run smoothly, participation remains strong, and students stay engaged throughout the sessions. Her contribution has not only helped in the effective execution of eVidyaloka classes but also created a positive and encouraging learning environment for the students.

Geetanjali’s sincerity and proactive approach truly reflect the spirit of teamwork and her strong belief in the value of education.

As the Class Assistant at GHS Maharatha in Odisha, Pritismita Jena’s steady efforts have led to noticeable improvements in the students’ behaviour and attentiveness during online classes and assessments.

With confidence, she ensures that every class begins on time and that the daily schedule is maintained without disruptions. Her composed yet firm presence has built a learning environment where students stay focused and respectful. She even encouraged the Headmaster to extend support to other eVidyaloka initiatives, such as the National Student Innovation Challenge (NSIC) and the NMMS mentoring program.

Volunteer teachers consistently appreciate her reliability and sense of responsibility, recognising her as an essential force behind each successful session.
