Sevabharathi Tamilnadu
conducts free tuition centres in backward areas and slums catering to the needs
of students from backward, most backward and economically weaker sections. On
an average, there is one volunteer-teacher for every 35 students. The teachers
develop personal rapport with the students by spending quality time with them.
This helps the teachers to understand the students’ weaknesses and requirements
well, and make them improve in their studies.
The teachers also strive
to make school dropouts continue their studies. For two hours every week, the
students take a break from their textbooks and have an enjoyable session of
songs, prayers and games through which they get introduced to our culture. In
keeping with our traditional practice, every year on Guru-Purnima Day, the
tuition centre students bring flowers and offer them at the feet of their
teacher as a mark of their respect and gratitude. Thus the students learn not
just their school lessons, but also the important aspects of our culture.
