According to officials and students, Mr Singh became immensely popular because of his unconventional ways of teaching and drawing his students’ interest.

He was posted as an assistant teacher at the school in 2018. He used games and social media to raise awareness among the children, drawing more and more students to the school, which had always seen low attendance because of the difficult terrain.

It was a common sight to see him sitting on the ground, surrounded by children, during one of their interactive sessions.

“We used to play cricket in the hills. I used to try and use every means to make them aware of the world. It is extremely sad to leave these children, but I have to,” Mr Singh said.
