Amreli Dr. Kalam Innovative School, located in the district, has done something by doing something, on which not only Gujarat but the whole country can be proud. The school has got a place in Harvard Book of World Records, London. This success is also special because this school gives children a chance to earn along with studies.
Makes children self -sufficient
This school is the first school in Amreli, where children between 13 and 15 years are earning money themselves. The school runs a start-up studio named ‘Kalam Youth Center’, in which children learn t-shirt printing, laser cutting work in free time and make their own goods and sell them. With this money, they pay their school fees and also help the house.
A father sold a bike, school taught children earning
The thinking of this school is also being praised because the father of a child had to sell his bike to pay the fees. In order to ensure that such situations should not happen to anyone again, the school arranged that children can earn their studies fees themselves.
Preparation for employment with studies
Dr. Kalam Innovative School is not limited to book knowledge just. Here children are taught to do small business along with studies. They design themselves, make things and sell them as T-shirts, mugs, wooden things. This not only makes them self -sufficient, but also contributes to the economic condition of their family and village.
Story of Himanshu: Student studying by earning himself
School student Himanshu Lathia said that he studies in class 10 and works regularly in the school’s start-up studio. Here he got a chance to learn new techniques and sell his products made. This not only helped him in his studies but also increased confidence.
Source of inspiration for villages
This model of Dr. Kalam Innovative School has become an example for rural areas. Here children are not only studying, but they are realizing their dreams by running small businesses. This initiative has proved that if the school gives the right direction to the children, then they can become self -sufficient at an early age.
Education made practical and effective
The biggest feature of this school is that it is not only a theory, but also practical knowledge. Children make and sell things themselves and take the experience of the real world. This increases their confidence, improves skills and they are able to prepare better for the future.
