#NationalTeacherAward
At #17000ft, every teacher training session across #Ladakh, #Sikkim & #Arunachal begins with our National Anthem. Over the years, we have conducted 3,80,000+ hrs of teacher training!
This #IndependenceDay, we wanted to share a small part of how we begin our trainings.
Jai Hind!
Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream bigger. Stories like these remind us why we do what we do. From remote Sikkim, this young learner is proving that with the right support, every dream can take flight. 🌈📚
