Ashok Satpathy, a teacher of Zilla Government School, Bhadrak played a crucial role in developing infrastructure in the school. He connected with school alumni and motivated them to donate for the development of the school.
With the funds, Satpathy built up the school infrastructure, new conference hall, computer labs and procured other ICT equipment.
“I am happy that my work has been recognised. The day I learnt that I would be awarded the National Award, everybody started congratulating me for arranging scholarships for poor students. After retirement, I will also set up a trust to help such students,” said Satpathy.
Similarly, Ajit Kumar Sethy (Acting head) of Chattrapur Upper Primary School also won the National Award. Sethy was instrumental in helping students understand abstract concepts with the help of musical instruments.
“I teach students using low cost ICT equipment and musical instruments,” said Sethy, who also mobilised school alumni to raise funds for development.
