Digital Didi Changing Mindsets, Practices and Narratives
Janmoni Deka is a student of class IX at GRB Charai Hagi High School, Morigain, Assam. Her parents wanted the daughter to study well and do something good with her future. But, they always complained about her lack of attention in studies and poor academic record. Janmoni too wanted to study and build a career, but instead of trying the best her academic results kept going down. Slowly she stopped participating in extra-curricular school activities and never discussed her problems with others.
Upon learning about her, DEF’s STEM learning team approached her and soon was able to start communicating with her in the school campus. A key person from the team, Dibya started to mentor her and slowly tried to open her up; after a series of efforts Janmoni narrated her problem. Few classroom and outdoor activities helped her to facilitated to indulge and make her feel more comfortable.
At a later stage, she was introduced to STEM education, where she gained communication skills. The support not only helped her but to her parents, it helped them to understand their daughter better.
