Please welcome Mr. Suneel Eshwar Khot to this episode of ‘Pratibimba’. 

Suneel started working as a Maths teacher in 2010. He currently works at Arjunavadi, Hukkeri. He has been a resource person at the Taluk, District, and State levels. He has participated in the ‘Jnana Taranga’ programme of AIR for Grade 10 students. In 2015, Suneel participated in the National-level Maths exhibition. 

Suneel trains students for NMMS (National Means, Merit Scholarship). Passing this test makes a student eligible for a scholarship. This test successfully identifies talented students in the Aided and Local schools of the State. The test is conducted by DSERT and the KSEB. If a student clears this test in Grade 8, he/she will get a sum of Rs.12000/- per year, all the way to Grade 12. In addition, the State government awards him/her a one-time cash prize worth Rs. 2000/-

Suneel, who himself is a product of competitive exams, has dedicated himself to helping children with these exams. This has helped many underprivileged students in getting a scholarship of up to Rs. 50,000/- in four years. 

Since students need about 4 months of intensive training, he first screens the students and identifies potential candidates. He then takes their parents/guardians into confidence. If one clears the test, there is financial help. Otherwise, what you learn during training will remain with you for the rest of your life! He engages the students for 2 extra hours every day. 

He even has a WhatsApp group with the students and involves them in an online quiz. He has also used technology to take online classes whenever needed. He has his own YouTube channel where he shares videos with his students. He draws a special timetable for candidates writing this test since this is an intensive course. He feels it is very important for one member of the family to dedicate 4 months to the care of their wards.

Successful students in higher classes help their juniors during weekends. It helps both the seniors to revise, and the young ones to gather insights. It also builds a strong bond between students.

In the past 12 years, 51 students have cleared the test from his school and have earned a whopping Rs.24,50,000/- in scholarships. 

Suneel is inspired by the story of a village in North India which accounts for 45 IAS officers. He wants to see his school and his village earn a similar reputation. He thanks his school colleagues for their co-operation. He has a dream of his students clearing competitive exams such as NEET.
