GHS Utkela | Kesinga Block | Kalahandi, Odisha | Digital Classroom Program (DCP)

Aradhya Naik, a Grade 8 student at GHS Utkela in Odisha’s Kalahandi district, has undergone a remarkable transformation through eVidyaloka’s Digital Classroom Program.

Earlier, Aradhya found it challenging to understand concepts through textbooks alone. With limited access to digital learning resources and interactive learning opportunities, she found it difficult to engage with certain topics. She was also shy and hesitant to express her thoughts, often feeling nervous when asked to explain even simple concepts in front of others.

The Digital Classroom Program brought a new dimension to her learning experience. Through interactive digital classes, visual explanations, educational videos, and engaging learning resources, Aradhya began understanding concepts more effectively and developing a greater interest in learning.

A significant part of this journey has been the continuous guidance and encouragement from her Volunteer Teacher, Archita Priyambada. She motivated Aradhya to overcome her hesitation, participate actively, and express her ideas without fear. Gradually, Aradhya began finding her voice and growing more confident in her abilities.

Her progress became particularly evident through her participation in the National Science Innovation Challenge (NSIC), where she was selected as a winner.

Today, Aradhya is no longer just a learner who hesitates to speak up. She confidently explains concepts, presents her ideas, and even supports and guides her juniors during the NSIC program. Her transformation has also encouraged other students to participate, share their thoughts, and believe in their own potential.

From finding it difficult to explain a concept to helping others understand it, Aradhya’s journey reflects the power of encouragement, interactive learning, and the right opportunities.

Through the Digital Classroom Program, eVidyaloka continues to create learning experiences that help students discover not just what they can learn, but what they are capable of becoming.
