The school was established in the village of Budhela back in 1999, and as of today, 480 kids who can write easily with both hands have graduated, according to NDTV.
“First I used to write using my right hand, then I learned to write using my left hand. In the third standard, I knew how to write using both hands,” Pankaj Yadav, a Class 8 student of the school, told the media.
The inspiration behind this effort was former Indian President Rajendra Prasad, says the school
The school offers special classes to the students to help them master the skill of writing with two hands, and the teachers also teach them one language each day of the week. “Writing with my right hand was how I did it when I was in a lesser class. then changed to the left. Moreover, we speak five languages.” Another student at the school, Adarsh Kumar, reportedly stated.
Virangad Sharma, the principal of the school, said that the inspiration behind this effort was former Indian President Rajendra Prasad. “Former President Rajendra Prasad was ambidextrous and could write using both hands. We took that as an inspiration and helped our children learn the same skill,” he said.
