Submit Spotlight Meet Sameer Kumar Misra, a real life Rancho
"Real Life Rancho", this is the title Sameer received in one of the article on him by C4E.in and he fully fits it. He was working as mechanical engineer when he realized that he wants to do something more in the life. He joined Gram Vikas Vidya Vihar School as SBI fellow in 2016 to "initiate a process to encourage Innovation & Design" in students. He participated in developing Science Laboratory using Arvind Gupta toys to increase scientific awareness. The models that students made attracted a lot of attention.
He has participated in developing Quantum Learning Methodology in the school. It is a collection of activities that should be done in the first three weeks of a new academic session. It helps the students to be acquainted with the environment of the school & teachers. It gives a platform for both teachers and students to sit together and do the combined activities and eliminating the unnecessary distance between "Teacher-Students" & "Students-School". It also provides complete knowledge of the child's nature to the teachers at the very beginning of the year.
Parikalp is one of the initiative by Sameer. Parikalp means "To explore, To experiment and To Innovate". The main idea behind this project was to fill the gap between school and community by involving the students to resolve common community problems. Students were asked to resolve some real life problems as part of the problem statements. The school has discovered many issues that it has been facing and gave this to students as a problem statement. The group is designated as 5 to 7 students and a guiding teacher to find and execute the solution for these problems.
Sameer is now working with the Gram Vikas Residential Schools as the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics] coordinator with the aim to develop these abilities among the tribal students.
