His name is Ranjitsinh Disale.

He wanted to be an engineer. When that did not work out, his father suggested he train as a teacher instead.

In 2009, he was posted to a government primary school in Paritewadi, a small village in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The school was a crumbling building wedged between two storerooms, one of which had been used as a cattle shed.

What he found there troubled him.

Girls were being married off young instead of being sent to class. Attendance was poor. The textbooks were written in a language many of the children, who spoke Kannada at home, could not properly read.

He decided to fix all of it, starting with the books.

He learned the children’s mother tongue and rewrote their textbooks in a language they could actually understand.

Then he did something no one in India was doing at the time.

He printed unique QR codes inside the textbooks, allowing students with access to a phone to scan a page and instantly access audio poems, video lessons and practice questions.

A village school in Solapur had built a digital classroom out of paper and printed squares.

The results changed the village.

Girls’ attendance reached nearly one hundred percent. Teenage marriages in the area stopped. His QR code idea worked so well that the Maharashtra government adopted it across the state.

The following year, the national education body embedded QR codes in textbooks across the country.

In 2020, Ranjitsinh Disale won the Global Teacher Prize. He was chosen from more than twelve thousand nominations across roughly one hundred and forty countries and was the only Indian in the top ten.

The award carried one million dollars, around seven crore rupees.

Then he did something no winner had ever done before.

He announced that he would give away half the prize money, dividing it equally among the other nine finalists so that their work could continue as well.

He said teachers are the real change makers.

He meant all of them, not just himself.

A man who became a teacher only because engineering did not work out changed how an entire country learns, and then gave half his fortune to the people he had competed against.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

This video has my heart.

No matter who you are and how big you are and how important a job you are doing, when your mother calls, you take the call. I always do. More out of fear than anything else. Just check everything is alright with her and there isn’t anything that needs urgent attention. Even if it is to say, “I’ll call you back”, so be it. Never let your mom’s call unanswered.

You have only one mom. When she calls everything else can wait. Should wait. Must wait.

Well done NKR.

Out of nowhere, this deer and his little fawn started showing up at the same house day after day. Neighbors were puzzled… why here? Why keep coming back? What they discovered was the most precious thing — a beautiful reminder of trust, love, and how God’s creatures find their safe place.
Sometimes the ones who show up at your door are exactly where they’re meant to be. 🦌💕
Who else loves these wholesome animal moments? Drop a ❤️ if this made you smile!

Yesterday, he was drunk at his fans' house in Kanakapura and unable to walk straight to Bangalore when gunmen took him to a car and made him sit.

We are blessed to have such a Chief Minister 🤣🤣

¡Hermosa historia!

Al principio pensé que solo era un perrito “diferente”… 🐶💔

Pero cuando me acerqué, entendí que había sufrido demasiado. 😭

Le habían arrancado todos sus dientes.
Los golpes habían dañado sus nervios.
Y el miedo que sentía hacia las personas era imposible de ignorar.

No dejaba que nadie lo tocara.
Así que antes de curar su cuerpo…
tuvimos que sanar su corazón. ❤️‍🩹

Poco a poco empezó a confiar.
A dejarse acariciar.
A sentirse seguro otra vez.

Hoy ya no es el mismo perrito asustado.
Ahora me trae su correa cuando qui

@PicturesPVR @RCityMall the #insignia food counter had cockroaches roaming. In the loo too, cockroaches abound.

Why the high price ?

Never get food at Inox theatres

[Dane @UltraDane]

The street taco guy has seen the man each day going back and forth to a job, he would wave but never stopped to talk or buy anything. Today he had enough money to get some food, but the vendor refused payment and gave the man something he needed much more than the food... it was a hug.

The way he held on and wouldn't let go. He was appreciated and respected—and he needed to feel that from someone 🥹

لقطه عظيمه في نهائي دوري أبطال اوروبا

اول ما جابرييل مدافع ارسنال ضيع ضربة الترجيح الاخيره

ماركينيوس قائد وكابتن باريس سان جيرمان والبرازيل

ساب كلّ الاحتفالات وراح جري علي جابرييل علشان يواسيه في أصعب لحظاته الكرويه

ويحاول يخفف عنه في لحظه جابرييل عمره ما هيقدر ينساها طوله تاريخيه الكروي

اللقطه بعد ما ضيع جابرييل بلحظات بثواني بالظبط لقطه عظيمه وجميله ❤️👏🔝

احتمالية حدوث هذا الشي مرة اخرى مستحيله:

في فيتنام دخلت فتاة إلى محل تجاري لشراء بعض الملابس، تسمع صوت البائعه لكنها لا تجدها لان كل واحده منهما تحرك في نفس اللحظه بشكل متطابق وتفوت الاخرى مرارا دون ملاحظتها

واخيرا بعد دقيقه حصل قلتش واستطاعوا لقاء بعض في موقف مضحك
