Unconventional ‘Vidya' transforms lives in Dhemaji
Guwahati: Pranjal Buragohain's transformative journey, shaped by personal challenges, led him to establish a school that revolutionises education in Assam's Dhemaji district. As an assistant professor at Dibrugarh University, Buragohain dedicates his resources and time towards the school's sustainable operations. "There was a need for a school in our area, as most existing schools struggled to function properly due to severe challenges. We needed a space where students could find a sense of purpose and direction in their lives," said Buragohain. He added, "I personally faced many academic failures and obstacles while growing up, experiences that were often isolating and harsh. I would not want any of my students to go through the same. That's why I wanted to create a place where learning is empowering, supportive, and rooted in real life purpose." His innovative educational model, 'Vidya', launched in 2020, diverges from traditional exam-focused learning. The school implements a comprehensive approach, combining science, mathematics and language studies with skill development, emotional intelligence and character building. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Buragohain emphasises that the education prepares students for life beyond examinations. Situated in Subahi village, which extends across Assam's Dhemaji district and Arunachal's Lower Siang district, the institution serves approximately 400 students. The learners come from various Assam districts, including Nagaon, Kamrup, Kamrup (Metropolitan), Tinsukia, with some students arriving from the neighbouring state. "The school follows three core curricula alongside academics — livelihood skills, well being skills and traditional values. Our aim is to make education memorable for the students by incorporating plays and experiential learning methods. Classes are not only held during regular hours but also during early mornings and late at night, allowing students to absorb concepts at their own pace. Right now, we have students from primary standard to high secondary first year," he said. The school promotes self-reliance by teaching students practical skills while ensuring real-world application. The livelihood curriculum includes training in manufacturing soaps, mats and other handcrafted items. Students sell these products locally, generating income during their studies. This practical approach develops financial independence while building their confidence and self-respect.
