When In Doubt, Change | Student leaders and teachers bring CHANGE | Diary of Teach For India Fellow | My TFI Journey | Excellent Education to ALL children in INDIA

Change, change, change, I needed to change my actions,
What good were they when my students didn't get fractions!
So I shifted, I twisted, I had a fresh start,
But change was as slow as a shaky bullock cart

It was a test of my character, my patience,
But I had faith my class will reach excellence,
The goal was clear and always in our mind,
As we inched closer to it leaving the past behind

Expectations were on a high, the bar was also set,
At all costs, the goal just had to be met,
All actions were aligned and goal was now in clear sight,
Courage and grit ran high as we gave status quo a tough fight,
All in all, change was good, it was bright and made everything right!

Building New India – Role of citizens

Image
In a remote village situated on the banks of the Yamuna, a young boy named Raju from a Pachayat School was persuading his community members not to defecate in the open. He had a spark in his eyes, a constant smile on his face and an indomitable desire to bring about a meaningful change in his village. The above story is one among many others that are transforming and reimagining India. The honourable Prime Minister has given a vision for creating a New India by 2022 when India would complete 75 years of its independence. In this context, Niti Aayog- the premier think tank of the country, has come up with the Strategy for New India. The success of this strategy is incumbent upon the active participation of fellow citizens in socio-economic development and also upon their pro-activeness in upholding the constitutional ideals especially the Fundamental duties as enshrined in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution. In this essay, we will understand the nature and definition of New

From Curiosity To Wisdom-An Explorer's Tale

Image
I was never sure about what I really wanted from life and what my true purpose was, so I started to explore myself and the world around me. One thing that I was sure of was my innate curiosity to learn just about anything new that came my way. Another thing that I knew I had was the ability to work hard and get my hands dirty. So it was hardly surprisingly that I was good or rather excellent in whatever I did. This made the search for my purpose even harder as I lost myself in the inebriation of curiosity, trying one thing after another and then another. My ravenous mind was never at peace with one thing and it always wanted exciting adventures to embark on, new paths to trek on and a new summit to climb on. I threw myself in all kinds of jobs, internships, fellowships and what not! Before graduating as an engineer, I had already worked as a researcher, a writer, a marketing intern as well as an analyst. My stints in all these roles definitely piqued my interest but the problem was
