Mangaluru: Edward D’Souza, Principal of High School Zilla Panchayat in Kattadailu, 11 km from the city of Belthangady, will receive the best-level teacher award from the Chairman of the Minister of Basavara Basavai on Sunday.
Edward is responsible for increasing two government schools located in the remote area of Belthangady, over the past three decades.
Edward said he owed an award to all his students and donors such as parents, villagers, head of religion, representatives and sympathizers, who have contributed to the development of the school.
When Edward was in the first year of BCON, he lost his parents, and was forced to stop his studies.
Until then, the aim was to complete postgraduate education and became an officer exchanged.
After working in two private schools, he began working at a government school in Saraliktic.
“This is a turning point in my life.
One day when I went to teach students class III, I shouted at them, because they didn’t know their lesson.
In response, a student of a girl told me that I wasn’t aware of the difficulties she experienced in House.
That was when I decided to work only in higher elementary school located in remote areas, “he told Stoi.
Over the next decade, he raised Rs 15 lakh for development.
He was then transferred to another backward school.
To reach Zilla Panchayat, high school in Kattadabu, someone had to walk about 4 km from the main road.
Buildings, which are in dilapidated, restored.
Over the past two decades, he has collected almost Rs 1 Crore for his development.
“At one point, I distributed 300 cash boxes to local shops, asking them to contribute again every day for a month.
I also contribute to funds in person for every work done,” he said.
School organizes community development programs and health camps.
After the death of a student who was physically challenged, Akash, in 2016, he celebrated Akash Jayanti on October 2, along with a warning born in Gandhiji and Shastriji.
Belthangady Beo Virupaksha said Edward had taken a lot of development work, and was a good academic.
