Education has the power to transform lives, and eVidyaloka stands at the forefront of bridging the educational gap in rural India through digital learning. At the heart of this initiative are passionate volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to nurturing young minds. Here, we share the inspiring experiences of three such volunteers whose journeys with eVidyaloka reflect the impact of remote teaching and mentorship.

Snehal Deo: A Journey of Passion and Purpose

Snehal Deo, a qualified educator with a Master’s degree in Human Resources and a Bachelor's degree in Education, has found her experience with eVidyaloka exceptionally rewarding. As the wife of an Army officer, she has had the privilege of teaching students across the country, which fueled her passion for education and her desire to give back to society.

“Discovering eVidyaloka and their noble mission was a stroke of luck. I contacted them online, and their prompt coordination left a lasting impression. The orientation programs were thoughtfully designed, enabling volunteers to become acquainted with the staff and fully equipped for the classroom. This friendly and supportive environment made the transition smooth and enjoyable.

Class interactions with eVidyaloka are incredibly proactive. Witnessing the students' enthusiasm is truly heartening, and it has been an enriching experience to be part of this initiative. The eagerness and excitement of the students make every session worthwhile. Contributing to such a noble cause has been a fulfilling journey, and I am grateful to eVidyaloka for giving me this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young learners. Thank you, eVidyaloka, for this invaluable experience.”

Bridging the Digital Divide with AI: Aman Bohra’s Mission

Another volunteer, Aman Bohra, a Business Intelligence & AI Consultant, has dedicated his time to bringing Artificial Intelligence (AI) education to students in rural Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. His journey with eVidyaloka aligns with his passion for leveraging technology to bridge educational gaps.

“Through this initiative, I have conducted AI-focused sessions, hands-on training, and interactive lessons to introduce students to data, machine learning, and real-world AI applications. One of my most fulfilling moments was mentoring students for a national-level AI competition, where they emerged as runners-up. Their curiosity and innovation reaffirmed my belief in the potential of rural talent when given the right resources and guidance.”

Beyond teaching AI concepts, Aman has played a crucial role in building students' confidence, problem-solving skills, and digital literacy. His efforts were recognized by eVidyaloka, where he was honored as Volunteer of the Month—an acknowledgment of his impactful contributions.

Inspiring the Next Generation: Dnyaneshwar Pawar’s Reflection

Dnyaneshwar Pawar shares how his passion for education and technology brought him to this transformative initiative.

“My journey with eVidyaloka has been an incredibly enriching and fulfilling experience. As a volunteer teacher, I have had the privilege of connecting with curious young minds from rural India, guiding them in their educational journey, and witnessing their growth and transformation.

From the very first virtual class, I was struck by the enthusiasm and determination of the students. Despite the challenges they face, their thirst for knowledge and eagerness to learn is truly inspiring. Their questions, insights, and eagerness to participate have made each session lively and meaningful.

What drives me to volunteer is the belief that education is a powerful tool for change. Every child, regardless of their geographical location, deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to dream big. By being a part of eVidyaloka, I feel that I am contributing, even if in a small way, to shaping a brighter future for these children and empowering them to achieve their potential.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been the relationships formed with the students. Seeing their confidence grow, their understanding deepen, and their joy in learning has been immensely gratifying. The support from the eVidyaloka team has also been remarkable, making it easy for volunteers like me to focus on teaching while they handle the logistics seamlessly.

To anyone considering volunteering, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to take the step. The experience is not just about teaching; it’s about learning and growing together. You will find yourself inspired by the resilience and determination of the students, and you will walk away with a sense of purpose and fulfillment.”

A Rewarding and Fulfilling Experience

The stories of these volunteers illustrate a shared belief—that education is a powerful tool for change. As one volunteer, Aman Bohra, beautifully sums up:

“I’ve always been passionate about education, especially when it comes to empowering underserved communities. Volunteering is a way for me to actively contribute to making a difference. What drew me to eVidyaloka was its clear focus on providing quality education to children in rural areas, using technology to bridge the gap where traditional resources are often lacking.

I believe that every child deserves access to education, regardless of their geographical location, and eVidyaloka offers a unique platform to make that possible. The flexibility of virtual volunteering allows me to contribute meaningfully while managing my other responsibilities, and I feel a sense of purpose every time I engage with students.

The driving factor for me was eVidyaloka’s commitment to creating a sustainable model where volunteers don’t just teach, but truly impact the community by helping children realize their potential. It’s not just about academics, but also about instilling confidence and inspiring a lifelong love for learning.

To anyone considering volunteering with eVidyaloka, I encourage you to take that step! It’s a chance to make a tangible difference, to be part of a vibrant community of passionate individuals, and most importantly, to help shape the future of these young learners.”

At eVidyaloka, volunteers don’t just teach—they transform lives. Their dedication ensures that students in rural India receive the education and mentorship they deserve, empowering them to dream big and achieve their full potential.
