Creating community collectives on the path of “Guru Nanak”
This is the story of how a community collective can impact student learning, A story of the village Dilawarpur which was famous for drug trafficking and how a community connected with a school through the “Sukhmani sahib” path. I started my visit to this village I found out that the community is not active and does not see school as a collective space. In my initial try, I ran the Gram Sikhiya Sabha in school. The attendance at this Gram Sikhiya Sabha was quite low.
One day, when speaking with a teacher at the school, it was advised that, in order to improve the school in the coming year, we should follow the holy path of the Gurughar and recite Sukhmani Sahib. Kuldeep Singh of the community was happy to hear about this event and immediately took responsibility for the entire initiative on behalf of his family.The school hadn't been cleaned in a while because no one was available to do it, but when the day of this program drew near, it was thought vital to do so. When residents of the homes next to the school learned that the program would be held there, they began to inquire of the teacher or me about it. They started asking the school teacher or me about it and started telling us if there was any service worthy of us, please tell us.
After seeing us accomplish all of this, numerous other villagers began assisting us with various jobs, and the school soon began to flourish. The entire village was invited to take part in this initiative because the school is a community asset that belongs to the whole community. We also invited a large number of departmental officers in addition to the villagers because they rarely visited the school. This community lead to the grant of 2 lakhs from the Department itself. Additionally, some individuals committed to giving donations. So this is how a community collective on the path of Guru Nanak led to create a good learning environment of school.
