Having been the education minister in the Bal Sansad last year, he feels the activation of the student body has been the most significant change in the school. As education minister, he also visited a school in Gopalpur and came back inspired to inculcate similar processes in his school.

For her one of the biggest changes has been the installation of the library in the school. She is proud that she has been elected by the students as a member of the Bal Sansad - a previously non-existent body. She hasn’t seen the teaching style change much but assemblies have become an integral part of the day now. She often goes and teaches students in the younger classes and would like more teachers to be appointed.

"कम से कम बच्चों की झिझक तो टूट रही है ना? ARC यही सिखाता है!"
"कम से कम बच्चों की झिझक तो टूट रही है ना? ARC यही सिखाता है!"
She visits the ARC regularly because she learns something new and gets a quiet place to do her own work. She encourages other girls in her community to visit the ARC instead of wasting time. With her unshaking voice booming on stage on the day of the inauguration, the change in her is evident.
