Durva Sankar Berad | Grade 6 | ZPPS Nimbodi, Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra Programme: eVidyaloka Digital Classroom Program

A New Milestone for Durva

Every learning journey brings opportunities to discover new interests, overcome challenges, and achieve milestones. For Durva Sankar Berad, a Grade 6 student at ZPPS Nimbodi in Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra, this journey has culminated in a special achievement. She has been selected through a district-level competition for an educational visit and has secured first rank in the ISRO examination, as celebrated in her school's congratulatory poster.

This achievement marks a proud moment for Durva, her family, her school, and the wider learning community.

Making Science Easier to Understand

Coming from a farming family in Nimbodi village, Durva initially found Science difficult to understand. Complex concepts often felt challenging, and her exposure to online learning was limited. This made it difficult for her to engage with the subject and affected her confidence.

Her learning experience began to change when she joined eVidyaloka's Digital Classroom Program. Through regular online Science classes conducted by Snehal Bhosale Ma'am, Durva found an opportunity to explore concepts in a more accessible and engaging way.

By explaining lessons in simple language, encouraging questions, and creating opportunities for students to participate, Snehal Ma'am helped make Science easier to understand. The interactive sessions allowed Durva to revisit concepts she found difficult, strengthen her understanding, and gradually become more confident in the classroom.

Growing Confidence, Achieving New Milestones

As her learning progressed, Durva began developing a greater interest in Science. Concepts that once seemed difficult became easier to understand, and she reported improvements in her reading, writing, and communication skills.

Her growing confidence and interest in the subject have been encouraging developments. Her recent achievement in the ISRO examination, along with her selection through a district-level competition for an educational visit, marks another important milestone in her learning journey.

While this recognition celebrates Durva's individual effort and achievement, it also reflects the encouragement and support she has received from her teachers, school, and family.

When Learning Opens New Possibilities

Durva's journey highlights how consistent teaching, encouragement, and access to quality learning opportunities can help students move beyond the subjects they once found challenging. A teacher who takes the time to explain, encourage questions, and nurture curiosity can make a meaningful difference in how a child approaches learning.

Through its Digital Classroom Program, eVidyaloka aims to make engaging learning experiences accessible to students in rural communities. Durva's story is an encouraging reminder of what becomes possible when students are given the opportunity, guidance, and confidence to explore their potential.

Her achievement is not just a proud moment for her school; it is another milestone in a journey of learning and discovery.
