Without Money, This Family Provided Their Daughter With Knowledge Beyond Schooling

In the 21st century, children live in a diverse and globalized community. They are forced to face all the odds of this competitive world. However, to do so, they must have a set of requisite skills. This includes thinking and rearranging logically, problem-solving, collaboration and creativity.

They must also be adept at information finding, assessing, evaluating and applying new concepts. This is where comes the focus on the all-round development of children through extra-curricular activities

Meet Khushi, a student of class six who resides in Aurangabad. Growing up in a family of farmers, Khushi lived a simple life. Their family earned a meagre salary enough to provide them shelter, food, clothing, and education for their daughter.

However, understanding the importance of knowledge beyond schooling, they decided to provide additional support to their daughter. When Khushi told them about the newly introduced Bharat E Shiksha program, the extra-curricular activities, and digital learning her parents were convinced.

They realised the importance of digital literacy after the pandemic. When the world was shifting to an online mode, the family also adapted themselves in every way they could afford. So they were convinced and enrolled their daughter at the Aurangabad Digital Learning Centre.

At the centre, Khushi enjoys listening to and reading stories. She has improved in subjects like English and math and shows more interest in the same.

In the future, Khushi aspires to be a teacher and impart knowledge to underprivileged children.
