Deoghar, July 14: How the commercialisation of the education system has broken the back of parents and made them puppets in the hands of private institutions is open to all but there are some generous and noble people in our society who are imparting valuable education without charging any cost even after being retired and ignoring their health issues. Ghanshyam Jha a retired teacher from Kendriya Vidyalaya is one of them. A graduate from Deoghar College he had done his M.Sc. from Bhagalpur University. He started his teaching career at R.K. Mission School Deoghar in 1980. Although he used to take classes at Satsang College too at that time but soon he was selected in Kendriya Vidyalaya.
Talking to Lagatar24.com he shared his journey of free teaching preferably to girl students. Just before one year of his retirement, he had founded a non-profit organization Radhe-Rukmini named after his parents in 2014 to teach girl students in his parental house in Deoghar. Talking about his slogan of the organization ‘Beti Padhao, Pariwar Padhao, Desh Badhao’, he claimed that educating girls means educating two families and making the nation. He has completed recently his expedition of imparting education in hundred schools. He has not confined his journey to local institutions but he has been traveling to different institutions located in different parts of the country. Although he had faced a brain stroke in January this year but after overcoming it he started his journey once again. Recently he delivered his speech in Calcutta Public School located at Ormanjhi in Ranchi where more than three hundred students of different classes attended at a time.
Ghanshyam Jha retired from Dhruva Kendriya Vidyalaya in 2015 and he has been imparting teaching till date.
