Byrapura Lower Primary School is still running because of this dedicated teacher Mr.Suresh B Chalageri. Suresh B Chalageri scales a hill to get to school. He tracks the distance of 8 km to reach to his school. He has been doing so for more than seven years now. Trekking a mountain every day is hard enough, but this amazing teacher also carries stationery, books and grains (for the midday meal) along with him. Due to his constant efforts, the Byrapura Lower Primary School is still running.
The Byrapura Lower Primary School is located atop a hill and was in shambles when Suresh was first posted there. The hilltop is home to many families of the Lambani tribe and most of the children go to the government school.
The school, mainly consisting of the local Lambani children, gets an annual enrollment of 60 students and has three other teachers. Recently, Suresh was given a two-wheeler to make his commute to school easier.
"It is my responsibility to ensure the number doesn't dip. The school has three teachers but I am running the show - juggling the roles of headmaster, teacher, cleaner and plumber, " he said. This man is an inspiration.
