The success of our two-year pilot propelled us to expand our team, now comprised of dedicated full-time employees and volunteers who support our global network of volunteer teachers and partner schools.

I have been working with eVidyaloka in GHPS Marewad school for the past 7 years. Students are very fond of the online teachers. Online teachers also have the same love towards the students they show concern towards the students. Though they live in different countries their love towards our school students is immense. They spend an hour of their precious time with our students.
I work as a Class assistant in the online classes run by eVidyaloka in PMS Firozpur School. Children are very impressed and curious about the classes being run by eVidyaloka and their interest in running these classes has increased. Children learn to speak their self-confidence increases a lot and they always try to learn something new and also succeed and I thank eVidyaloka which gives children the opportunity to participate in different types of activities in which Children participate in large numbers and also get good results. With which we are all quite happy. I hope that this program continues and the children of our rural areas continue to get the opportunity to learn and do something new so that the future of all the children becomes bright.
I am Aruna working as CA in MPUPS Ganeshunipadu center. Because of online classes students can understand topics clearly and easily. Volunteer teachers are first understanding students and then coming out with different teaching skills to make the students learn easily. Due to online classes students are gaining more knowledge on technology.
I am working at ZPPS Gothangaon School as a Class Assistant. eVidyaloka is running this project in schools in rural areas. The education of students in rural areas has become easier due to this project. This activity is conducted through TV and laptops so it becomes easy for children to understand. Children happily participate in this online activity every day and answer various questions. The students of Gothangaon School became more open could express their thoughts and were able to learn new things due to this activity. Various competitions are organized by the eVidyaloka foundation in which the students of Gothangaon school participate enthusiastically and have received various prizes. I always want such initiatives to be taken up and I thank eVidyaloka for taking up this initiative.
I am working as a Class Assistant in GHPS Karathalu. Our school's 5th 6th 7th and 8th-grade students are benefited from eVidyaloka. Students are learning about new topics in subjects like English Science and Mathematics through online classes. Along with these subjects students are also taught about general knowledge. This increases the desire of the students to learn and the parents of the students also respond well. On behalf of myself and our school students I thank all of you for giving this opportunity to our school. And kudos to all the teachers who have taken online classes. I request you to continue the online classes in the coming years also.
In Hivare Zahre school the online classes of eVidyaloka are conducted. These classes are very beneficial for the students. Teachers conduct the classes by showing the videos to the children to explain the concepts. Written notes are also given to the students. The number of teachers in school is less. However our online classes are helping to complete the syllabus. All teachers help understand the concepts to the students. Due to this the students are progressing well. Thanks eVidyaloka.
Students at our school find online learning to be highly beneficial. Science Math English and Artificial Intelligence are taught in an outstanding way to students in Grades 5 through 8. Pupils enthusiastically and joyfully embraced learning. We are grateful to eVidyaloka and the Volunteer Teachers.
Students who attend eVidyaloka's online classes are benefiting greatly. They are enjoying the classes and can focus better which has resulted in an improvement in their studies. The classes have also exposed students to various activities beyond their regular studies such as learning about Science day Yoga day Tiger day and other similar events. This has led to an increase in students' participation in these activities and has boosted their confidence. Additionally students have participated in EDGE and NSIC competitions with two students as winners. I am confident that students who benefit from these classes will continue to benefit even more in the future.
I have been associated with eVidyaloka Digital Classroom for the last three months. I am gaining experience day by day through 54 digital classes. These classes not only provide knowledge from the book but also important information that can be used in daily life. Students benefit greatly from these digital classes.
