Chandigarh, September 5

As a gesture to express gratitude to teachers for their contribution in ensuring continuity of education during the COVID-19 pandemic on the Teachers’ Day today the Ampersand Group launched a Pan-India campaign #ThankYouTeacher.

In Punjab, the campaign was extended around 5,000 students from Hubble Adarsh Schools. The campaign entailed students and teachers sharing photos and videos as mark of their gratitude. In addition, a ‘Plant a Tree’ initiative was also held, under which students planted a tree with the name of their teacher on it. Self-shot videos and photographs of drawings, craft, song, poems, and other artistic creations dedicated to their teachers were also shared by students.

Apart for the Hubble Adarsh Schools, the pan-India initiative also included 700 Balwadis under the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which achieved a total outreach of 20,000 students and 25 Anganwadis under the Ministry of Women & Child Development (MWCD) in Nashik (in Maharashtra) that was extended to over 600 students.

Ampersand Group has over the past few months successfully conducted teacher training projects through online mechanisms in Jammu & Kashmir and Tamil Nadu with the respective state governments, and Central Tibetan School Administration in Uttarakhand and West Bengal. In Maharashtra, the group has initiated digitisation of classrooms, provided training and curriculum to the MCGM Balwadi teachers and MWCD Anganwadi workers in Nashik. In Punjab, it has undertaken management and operations of Adarsh School under the public private partnership model.
