I have been working as Assistant Teacher of Science at Upper Primary School Jujharpur, Block Akrabad, District Aligarh. I have done some specific work in collaboration with the school staff and public community for example establishment of a science laboratory in school, the construction of separate toilets for girls and boys, teaching-learning material, and practical base science teaching. At the time of my appointment in 2015 as assistant teacher of science in this school, there were only 24 students enrolled in the school. I made efforts to provide better education for children. The science lab has been established in the school, providing ICT-based classroom teaching to the children and implementing various types of innovation for example I have implemented self-innovation “Gyan Hamare Charon Ore” in our school which is a zero investment Innovation and helps students in experience-based learning. I am also making the teaching interesting through Comics-based learning to make learning more interesting and easy and I make comics based on the chapters of the textbook. I have connected children with the first online education in the district at the time of lockdown by uploading educational videos on the YouTube channel of the school. Due to all these efforts not only the presence of students has increased but also the enrollment of students become more than triple and even children from private schools are admitted to our school. Children are making proud of the name of our school by their excellent performance by participating in various District, State, and National Level Competitions. The basic education department and Tata trust published my journey as a science teacher in the book named “UMMEED KE RANG”.The basic education department also published my innovative ideas for teaching in the monthly magazine of the department named “PRERNA PATRIKA” and awarded me at the state level for making comics and using them in teaching. I also got the State ICT Award for using ICT in classroom teaching, the State award for lesson plan-making and its implementation in the classroom, and the state award for using Roleplay (Drama) in teaching chapters of textbooks by Scert UP Lucknow. I also got a National award for innovation by Kendriya Shiksha Mantri by Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and an award for The best teacher from Basic education minister Dr. Satish Chandra Dwivedi. Our students demonstrate various science experiments on different occasions andmake villagers aware of the ill effects of superstitious things spread across the community due to illiteracy. By above-mentioned activities, we are trying to bring overall development of students and our aim is to provide literate and bright generation to our country.
