With a solid academic foundation, including a post-graduation in M.Com and IRPM, he started his journey as a Junior Lecturer in a Government Junior College from 2000 to 2008.<\/p>\n<p>During this time, he says, &#8220;I always believed that education could transform lives, and I was determined to make a difference in my community in Gujjangivalasa.&#8221; From 2008 to 2015, he took on a leadership role, managing a project focused on competitive exams in his Mandal, overseeing 180 high schools and working with over 300 teachers. &#8220;The joy of seeing students excel in competitive exams was immense, but the separation of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh ended this project, creating a turning point in my journey,&#8221; he reflects. This shift set the stage for a new chapter in his life and for the entire community.<\/p>\n<h2>Stepping Into the Teaching Journey<\/h2>\n<p>With a deep commitment to the teaching profession, Muralidhar decided to turn his vision into reality in 2015 by founding Global EM School. &#8220;I knew that starting a school was a way to make a real difference,&#8221; he says. Beginning with a building on his own land, he started the school with 60 students from LKG to 3rd grade and a team of 5 teachers. His focus on growth and better teaching methods led to a steady increase in enrollment, with 100 to 150 new students joining each year. &#8220;Our dedication to providing <a href=\"https:\/\/varthana.com\/school\/how-ramar-s-a-strong-believer-in-quality-education-started-nalli-matriculation-to-provide-access-to-quality-education-to-his-community\/\">quality education<\/a> at an affordable price won the <a href=\"https:\/\/varthana.com\/school\/this-doctorate-holder-who-couldnt-afford-an-english-medium-school-as-a-child-is-now-serving-struggling-families-in-nashik\/\">community\u2019s trust<\/a>, and we had over 400 students before the COVID-19 pandemic hit,&#8221; he shares.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/varthana.com\/school\/zeal-school\/\">How Zeal School is Improving English Proficiency in Rural Students<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Learning Battles<\/h2>\n<p>The post-COVID era presented new challenges, particularly with learning loss.
