Four students of Andhra Tribal School create unique mapping record
The
record for pointing out all the countries on an outlined world map drawn on the
board in the least time was set by four students Banavath Gayathri Bai, Sugali
Roja Bai (group leader), Madiga Manjula and Thota Anu Vyshnavi Devi of
The attempt was inspired by the coach and principal of the school, K S Sai Kishore. The girls practiced for one year before attempting for the record. They used to give direct demos of in schools and to make the students aware of this unique learning style. The students and teachers stared on the black board with surprise. The group received a lot of appreciation and gifts for this art.
It was not easy in the beginning, as if any of the member misplaced a little line on the board, it was difficult to show the location of a country in that particular continent. The group leader, Sugali Roja Bali said, “Our parents are illiterate and work as coolies. Our families live inside forests and we are mostly dependent on forest products for our survival. Our mother tongue is without script. Parents don’t even understand the state language – Telugu.”
The mapping style was developed by K S Sai Kishore, the principal of the school. He is very happy with the performance and achievement of the students. This mapping technique is simple and anybody can learn it easily, but the record goes in the name of these school girls only.
