Premveer Singh went from door to door, practically begging the parents to enrol their wards at the government school in Khoradinh village. Gradually, he and fellow school teachers built bridges of trust with the parents and the admissions began to go up. The school now has 315 students of which 25% are tribal children.

In 2015, when Puran Lal Chaudhary was posted as a teacher at Barua Behad village in Bahraich district, Uttar Pradesh, barely 12 students came to the school. No teacher wanted to stay in the village that had no electricity and was pretty backward in basic amenities. Chaudhary stayed on and transformed the school. The educator who won the state teachers’ award shares his journey.
