🌍 Preserving Indigenous Wisdom and Empowering Communities 🌍 Growing up in the tribal heartland of Chhattisgarh, I had the privilege of witnessing the beauty of innocence, purity, and traditional knowledge within the tribal communities. It's a perspective that has shaped my life in profound ways. Let me share a remarkable story from 1981 that embodies the resilience and wisdom of indigenous people. Representatives from more than 350 tribal communities gathered in Delhi for a program. Afterward, two individuals from my hometown, part of our delegation, missed their train back home. With no means of communication, they embarked on a journey that lasted one and a half months. How did they find their way back? They navigated using the positions of stars and celestial bodies, walking through the night and resting during the day. Their journey was a testament to the power of traditional knowledge. But this knowledge, passed down through generations, is at risk of being lost in the rush towards mainstream education. Modern education often struggles to understand the context, language, and relevance of such wisdom. At Abhyudaya Global Village School, we've taken a different path. We are for context based education, recognizing that there are diverse knowledge systems, including those rooted in indigenous cultures, that deserve appreciation and preservation. Our journey is like that of those two individuals who found their way home guided by the stars. We are immensely grateful for the unwavering support of our students' parents and our dedicated supporters. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey of life and education. If you appreciate the value of indigenous wisdom, if you believe in preserving diverse knowledge systems, and if you're ready to make a difference, let's connect. Together, we can empower communities while safeguarding their cultural heritage. #EducationForAll #IndigenousWisdom #CommunityEmpowerment #AbhyudayaGlobalVillageSchool

"Education Evolution: The Rise of Private Schools in Kashipura" 🏫 Welcome to Kashipura village, where the landscape of education is evolving rapidly. Amidst fields of tomatoes and mango plantations, three schools stand out: a government primary, a private aided high school, and a bustling "international school." The transformation is evident as the once-thriving government school now hosts only nine students, while the private "international school" boasts 182 eager learners. #EducationEvolution #ChangingLandscapes 🌱 Reflecting on this shift, a teacher from the private aided school remarks on the surge in private school enrollments over the past decades. With multiple private schools now within a short distance, there's a palpable enthusiasm among parents to secure spots for their children in these institutions. #ParentalChoices #EducationTrends 💡 Kashipura's story mirrors a broader trend of rising private school enrollments, highlighting the changing dynamics of education access and parental preferences.
