A school principal in Dabhaura Gangapur in Bareilly district has set an example to serve the differently abled (divyang) children.
The efforts of Deepmala Pandey, the principal of English medium school, was recognised at the national level by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Lauding the ‘One Teacher, One Call’ initiative launched by her for the welfare of specially-abled children, Modi on Sunday said at the 81st episode of the monthly radio programme ‘Mann ki Baat’ that such efforts in the field of education shape the future of the country.
He said today many efforts are being made for the welfare of Divyangjan in the country. “I got a chance to know about one such effort being made in Uttar Pradesh – “One Teacher, One Call,” he added.
This unique effort in Bareilly is showing a new path to the Divyang children. “This campaign is being led by the principal of a school in Dabhaura Gangapur, Deepmala Pandey ji. During the Corona period, due to this campaign, not only did the admission of a large number of children become possible, more than 350 teachers have also joined it with a spirit of service,” the Prime Minister said.
These teachers go from village to village calling for Divyang children, looking out for them and then ensuring their admission in one school or the other. “I deeply appreciate this noble effort of Deepmala ji and her fellow teachers for the sake of Divyangjans. Every such effort in the field of education is going to shape the future of our country,” the Prime Minister said.
