While saints and storytellers are spreading the ganga of knowledge in Prayagraj maha Kumbh, they are teaching the devotees to live a restrained, peaceful and spiritual life through sermons and discourses, on the other hand vidya Kumbh has also been organized. Under this, a school named vidya Kumbh has been opened by the yogi government of UP for the education of the children of sanitation workers and laborers associated with the cleaning system in maha Kumbh.
This school running in a tented classroom here has not only been prepared in a hi-tech way, but it has been provided with all the facilities including smart class, which are usually seen in convent or other private schools.
Children are being taught here through audio visual and cartoon films as well as songs and games. There is such a tremendous craze for this school among children and their parents that more than two hundred and twenty-five admissions have been done in a week. The government is now preparing to open schools at five other places in the maha Kumbh area on the same pattern.
A high-tech school named vidya Kumbh has been opened near the sanitation colony in Sector 2 of the fair area for the education of the children of labourers and sanitation workers working in the maha Kumbh. The parents of most of the children taking admission here have come from outside districts or other states to do cleaning, labour and other work in the maha Kumbh. These children have missed their studies due to the family's visit to the maha Kumbh.
Classrooms from nursery to fifth class have been built in vidya Kumbh. The smart classroom is at the forefront of the school. Here children are being taught through cartoons and other audio-visual films. They are being taught by showing films on the projector and singing and dancing. Interest in education is being generated in them. In the nursery class, children are being taught without copies and books. They are being taught through big posters, songs and signs placed in the classroom.
