As the Head Teacher of the school, I have observed a significant positive change in the overall learning environment since the introduction of the Sampark programme. Our school has many migrant children, and earlier we faced high dropout rates and a general lack of interest in studies among students.

After receiving the Sampark programme, the atmosphere in our classrooms has transformed. Children now enjoy learning and participate actively in school every day. Activities like Sampark Didi ke Sawaal and solving worksheets after learning a concept have made lessons more engaging and structured. Students feel more confident because they are able to practice and apply what they learn.

I have especially noticed that boys show great enthusiasm while learning mathematics using the TLM kits. The hands-on tools make concepts clearer and learning more enjoyable. Sampark has helped us reduce disinterest in studies and create a more joyful, inclusive, and engaging school environment. I am truly grateful to Sampark Foundation for bringing such meaningful change to our school.

After the introduction of Sampark’s programme in our school, I have seen a remarkable change in children’s interest in studies. Earlier, it was difficult to keep them engaged for long, but now learning has become something they genuinely look forward to.

Children especially enjoy listening to Masti ka Pitara and eagerly participate in Sampark Didi ke Sawaal. These activities make learning fun and interactive, encouraging even the quietest students to take part. They listen carefully, think actively, and enjoy answering questions without fear.

Sampark’s programmes have brought joy, curiosity, and excitement into our classrooms. Seeing children so involved and happy while learning is truly rewarding, and I am thankful to Sampark Foundation for making studies an enjoyable experience for our students.

Since the introduction of Sampark’s programmes in our school, we have seen a noticeable improvement in student attendance. Earlier, many children were irregular and lacked interest in coming to school. Learning often felt routine, and it was difficult to motivate students to attend classes consistently.

With Sampark’s engaging programmes, classrooms have become more lively and joyful. The animated videos, interactive lessons, and familiar characters like Sampark Didi have created excitement among children. Students now look forward to classroom activities, which has encouraged them to attend school regularly and participate more actively in lessons.

As a teacher, I can clearly see how joyful and structured learning has positively influenced attendance and classroom energy. I am grateful to Sampark Foundation for introducing programmes that not only improve learning outcomes but also motivate children to come to school with enthusiasm every day.

For me, one of the biggest challenges in the classroom was capturing and sustaining children’s attention. It was never just about engaging the active students, but also about reaching those children who remained silent and hesitant to participate. I often struggled to ensure that every child felt included in the learning process.

Since the introduction of Sampark’s programme, this challenge has reduced significantly. The animated videos and characters like Chatar-Patar and Sampark Didi make lessons lively and engaging. They help me monitor not only attention but also the involvement of every child in the classroom. When learning becomes fun, children naturally lose their fear and feel encouraged to participate.

I am truly grateful to Sampark Foundation for helping me overcome one of my biggest classroom challenges. The thoughtfully designed content has transformed the way I teach and has created a more inclusive and joyful learning environment for all my students.

I find the Sampark programme extremely helpful and engaging for children. The animated videos are very well structured, making it easier for students to understand pronunciation, concepts, and questions without confusion. The visual and step-by-step approach keeps children attentive and interested throughout the lesson.

From a teacher’s perspective, the worksheets are especially valuable. They help us clearly evaluate the improvement in students understanding while also boosting children’s confidence, as they realise, they can learn without fear or pressure. This positive reinforcement has made a noticeable difference in the classroom.

What I appreciate most is how well-aligned and structured each programme and lesson. It has significantly reduced the burden on teachers, as we no longer struggle with planning or sequencing lessons. Sampark has thoughtfully designed its programmes keeping both children and teachers in mind.

Ever since our school started using the Sampark programme, we have experienced significant benefits for both students and teachers. If I had to highlight one group that has benefitted the most, it would be our teachers. The structured support and clarity the programme provides have made teaching far more effective and engaging.

Over the past four to five years, I had noticed a worrying trend. Even after enrolling their children in our school, many parents intended to shift them to private schools in search of better facilities and learning opportunities. By mid-year, some children would drop out either due to a lack of interest in studies or because they moved to private schools. However, since the introduction of the Sampark programme, our school has recorded zero dropouts, and I give much of the credit for this transformation to Sampark Foundation.

We actively use all the programmes Hindi, English, and Mathematics. I have observed that the Hindi and English programmes have greatly improved children’s pronunciation and confidence in language. The step-by-step, ‘kram-wise’ structure of each chapter covering reading, word meanings, worksheets, and grammar help children learn systematically. This structured approach has also supported teachers in delivering lessons more effectively and with greater confidence. Sampark has truly strengthened both learning outcomes and trust in our government school.

I have been working as a Block Resource Coordinator for the Education Department for almost eight years, and during this time I have closely observed the challenges schools face, especially due to difficult geography and limited access. These challenges often lead to learning backlogs and gaps in children’s understanding.

Since the introduction of the Sampark programme, teaching and continuity of learning have become much more effective. In schools, teachers use Sampark TV and the TLM kits to explain concepts in a simple and engaging way. What has been especially helpful is that during holidays or in disaster situations, teachers are able to share videos, worksheets, and practice questions with parents through the Sampark Smart Shala App. Parents can then support their children’s learning at home.

This approach ensures that children do not forget what they have learned and that gaps in understanding are minimised. We are truly grateful to Sampark Foundation for supporting schools and teachers in maintaining learning continuity and strengthening the education system.

Before Sampark TV was introduced in our school, many children were afraid of mathematics. They found the subject difficult, and as a teacher, I too often struggled to explain certain concepts in a way that every child could understand. Traditional methods were not always enough to hold their attention or remove their fear.

When we received the Sampark TV device, classroom teaching changed significantly. Mathematical concepts are presented in a very simple and structured manner, supported by animated videos that make learning engaging and easy to grasp. Children now understand concepts faster and participate more actively in class. The fear they once had for mathematics has gradually reduced, and learning has become enjoyable for them.

I am deeply grateful to Sampark Foundation for supporting us with such an effective teaching tool. Sampark TV has not only made my teaching easier but has also helped my students build confidence and interest in mathematics.

My children never showed much interest in studies. I always had to push them to study and even to go to school. But one morning, everything changed. They woke up early on their own, got ready quickly, and were excited to leave for school. Surprised, I asked them what was so special that day. They smiled and said, ‘Sampark Didi is in school—we have to go.’

Curious about this sudden change, I visited the school after a few days. When I reached, I saw all the children singing rhymes loudly and joyfully while watching lessons on a television. That’s when I saw Sampark Didi for the first time. It made me happy to see children so engaged and eager to learn.

The teacher then showed me how I could support my children at home as well and helped install the Sampark Smart Shala app on my phone. Now, after returning from work in the evenings, I sit with my children and learn English and mathematics alongside them. Learning has become a shared and joyful experience in our home. I am forever grateful to Sampark Foundation and the teachers for introducing such a meaningful and innovative way of learning.

My two children are enrolled at Sashki Naveen Primary School. Coming from an underprivileged background, I never imagined that one day my children would be able to learn English with confidence. Earlier, they were very weak in English and showed little interest in the subject.

Since they started learning with Sampark Didi on TV, I have seen a big change in them. They now enjoy reading and studying English and often recite English rhymes for me at home. Learning has become joyful for them, not stressful.

After Sampark TV was introduced in the school, my children are also more eager to attend school every day because they look forward to seeing Sampark Didi. I can see a clear improvement in their confidence and interest in learning, and that makes me very happy as a parent.
