His recognition brings honour not only to the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan but also to the tribal-dominated aspirational district of Koraput, where he has devoted over 11 years of his 16-year teaching career.

A postgraduate in Mathematics with professional training in teacher education, Dash has served the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan since 2009. Known for his innovative pedagogical methods, he blends joyful learning, digital tools, and local culture to transform education. His classroom is not confined to chalk and board; instead, it extends into storytelling, dramatization, puppet shows, short films, and even community radio, ensuring holistic learning experiences for children.

Awaiting the grand finale

It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
