Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students. Today, if we are liable citizens and successful professions, it is because of a teacher and his selfless profession. A teacher’s profession is considered as one of the hardest professions in the world because his entire life is dedicated to make the lives of others. A teacher performs his duty with full determination and without even caring about his own life. One such teacher is Sumitra Koluru form Hubli district in Karnataka who is setting a great example of what a determined teacher should like be.
One such teacher is Sumitra Koluru from Hubli district in Karnataka. For the last 11 years, she has been travelling 19 kilometers every day to teach kids in a remote part of the district.
She teaches the Government Higher Primary School in Dhopenahatti village in Hubli’s twin town Dharwad.
Out of the 19 kilometers, she walks 10 kilometers through a dense forest where wild animals are plenty. She has been doing this since 2005. On multiple occasions, she has even seen leopards in the forest. But her determination to teach, far outguns her fear of wild animals
MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS VILLAGE ARE DAILY-WAGE LABOURERS. I WANT TO TRAIN AND EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN
What happens when she encounters a wild animal? She encountered a leopard just a few days ago. Did she get scared?
I AM SCARED OF BEING ATTACKED BY WILD ANIMALS. IF I HAPPEN TO SPOT AN ANIMAL, I HIDE SOMEWHERE TILL THE ANIMAL DISAPPEARS.
It’s the dedicated teachers like her who reinforce our hope in the education system and humanity in general.
