In a rural school in Gorakhpur, a teacher has dedicated Saturdays for conversations with her students on anything under the sun. This has got even the shyest of students to open up, and has made both teaching and learning a joy, the teacher said.

Guided by the lesson plans, through an array of activities, assistant teacher Mamata Pandey helps her students in a primary school in Gorakhpur enhance their communication, creative and critical thinking abilities, and of course firmly grasp basic concepts.
