Lamppost Learning: Kultali Village Transforms Roads into Open-Air Classrooms

• Deulbari village in Kultali, South 24 Parganas, has launched an innovative educational initiative inspired by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
• Approximately 40-45 electric poles along village roads now display 'Barnaparichay' letters, English numbers, and basic arithmetic operations.
• Local resident Pulak Mondal spearheaded the project, cleaning neglected poles and painting educational content with community help.
• The initiative has turned the path to school into a moving classroom, increasing children's interest and creating an education-friendly environment.
• Pulak Mondal also started 'Ek Takar Pathshala' to further education in the Sundarbans, drawing inspiration from Vidyasagar's learning methods.
