Baldevpari pari

|

Baldevpari Goswami, a government school teacher, recognised that children needed tuition classes to supplement their education. However, he understood that many children could not afford tuition classes. He found himself at a crossroads. Having spent all his life working towards the goal of inclusive education, he decided to use technology to accelerate his efforts. To help students who could not afford tuition, he started a YouTube channel to share Mathematics tutorial videos in his native language, Gujarati. Today, Baldevpari’s channel has more than 1000 videos and millions of views. Students from various socio-economic backgrounds are able to use his channel to augment their formal education. This has motivated him to train other teachers through workshops. With great optimism, he says, “I believe a child should be able to learn from anywhere. The power of digital and YouTube is magical.”
