Headmaster

Parents in Leh would probably not put their children through expensive private schools if there were more government school headmasters like national award winner Sonam Gyaltsan.

"The gram panchayat can use the salary to further develop the school. There are parts of this country where teachers do not even come to school. With this message, I want to prove to the children in this village that I am dedicated to their education," says headmaster G Satish. #Respect #Inspiration

Setting a stunning example of dedication to duty, Mahadeshwara Swamy also maintains the school's garden and library — even paying for the books out of his own pocket! #Respect #RealLifeHero

This unconventional mode of convincing students came to fore when someone recorded the 56-year old headmaster in the act and posted it online.

From proper walled compounds to the installation of urinals and water tank, one government school in Vellore had its share of refurbishment recently, all thanks to the school’s headmaster.
