Ashok Kumar Sinha, Manika Mata Convent Higher Secondary School, Chhattisgarh<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEducating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all,\u201d – Aristotle. Believing in this ideology, Ashok started a school in his locality to educate the students and uplift society. But that is not where it all began. In fact, initially, Ashok wanted to become a lawyer, and he did some practice at the High Court for 18 days. However, he soon realized that the law didn\u2019t match his values. \u201cI felt earning money in law could sometimes harm others, and I wasn\u2019t comfortable with that,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n

Through determination and proper planning, Ashok opened Manika Mata Convent Higher Secondary School in 2002 with his friend\u2019s support. Thanks to his dedication to providing affordable quality education, the school has enrolled more than 500 students.<\/p>\n

Looking Back<\/h2>\n

Ashok’s life shows how strongly he believes in the power of education. He went for M.A., LLB, and B.Ed. degrees once had a vision to become a career lawyer but finally selected a cause in education. Today, he leads Manika Mata Convent Higher Secondary School, bringing quality education to rural Chhattisgarh and inspiring many young minds.<\/p>\n

Ashok strongly believes in the importance of private education, especially in rural areas. \u201cPrivate schools are key to providing quality education,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

He feels that without private schools, the standard of education would drop greatly. He further intends to expand the school and open a B.Ed. and D.Ed. college to provide better training to teachers in the region.<\/p>\n

However, a private school initiated in a rural area came with many challenges. The early years were tough due to financial struggles. \u201cPrivate schools in rural areas face a lot of money problems,\u201d Ashok shares.<\/p>\n

Present Situation of the School<\/h2>\n

With the community\u2019s support and Ashok\u2019s hard work, the school gained popularity in the locality, boosting enrollment every academic year. \u201cWe started in a government building, but now we have our own school. It feels like an achievement, though there\u2019s still more to do,\u201d he says proudly.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the support he received from Varthana during his financial struggles he shared, \u201cThey gave us financial help when we needed it most, helping us improve our infrastructure,\u201d<\/p>\n

This support has helped the school continue its mission of offering affordable education to the community.<\/p>\n

\"CTA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking forward, he shares that the school has a clear vision for the future. This includes improving education, he dreams of opening a B.Ed. and D.Ed. college to train teachers locally. \u201cRight now, we travel 40 to 50 kilometers to reach the nearest education college. I want to bring this opportunity closer, so even students from disadvantaged backgrounds can become teachers,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Ashok concluded the interview by saying \u201cVarthana has played a key role in the school\u2019s growth\u201d. As he is envisioning to expand his school to college, Ashok hopes that his relationship with Varthana will help him achieve this dream.<\/p>\n
