Mansi Satpathy, a woman from Bhubaneswar, Odisha, has been providing free education to the children of hill people in the state. Nala Basti is located near Rasulgarh in the state of Orissa. It is a village inhabited by tribal communities like with very minimal basic facilities.
Mansi Satpathy, in an interview, had said, “The area is inhabited by tribals who work mostly as daily wage workers for a living and thus do not have the means to provide education for their children. So, I go to that area every day and teach everyday. I have been doing this for the last 1 year. Currently the children there are learning English, Oriya, General Knowledge and Mathematics.”
“They also have a passion for singing and dancing. I also give them dance classes twice a week. I have been making various efforts to get those kids interested in the course. Even by buying biscuits and chocolates for some kids, I make them read.” she added.
