Nagpur: a small group carrying a balloon, bouquets, a box of chocolate and swinging to a hard drum beat can be easily misinterpreted for the wedding procession in this narrow BYLANE of this remote Gadchiroli Village.
But this procession in Kangsanguda Village, in Bhamragarh Taluka, which was affected by Naxala, stopped outside the six-year-old Vasudeo Habka house to celebrate the ‘first day of school’.
Zilla Parishad School (Koyanguda) Principal Vinit Padmawar decided to visit all six new reception in the style of ‘band, Baaja & Baraat this unique because the physical reopening of the school was not permitted because of the covid pandemic.

During the rainy season, all taluka was cut off from civilization for days, if not weeks, because the only bridge that connects it to the outside world submerged under the waters of the rising river parlaxy.
Some of the deadliest meetings between Naxalities and security forces have occurred here and children here are not foreigners to hear stories or even see criminals who pass through their hamlets.
Padmawar said, “That’s why education plays an important role, because children must do it still involved in a constructive atmosphere that no other ideology affects them.
Closing the physical class has hit us hard because in this remote area online education is not possible.
At Some of you don’t even get cellular networks, forget the internet.
Plus their socio-economic conditions are not conducive to pursuit of academic interests.
“Even last year when urban students touched the online class, children in remote villages looked at the gloomy future , That’s when many ZP school teachers who are active in Taluka take it themselves to start a home visit.
The teachers will ride their bicycles once a week to villages and teach students.
Sometimes, they climb a path that can be announced to ensure no students are left.
