Taking a unique initiative, the Sambalpur district Collector turned a teacher at a classroom in a Government high school here.

The children listened to Collector Samarth Verma very attentively when he took class during his visit to the Lady Lewis Girls’ High School under the ‘Teach for Sambalpur’ programme on Saturday.

Besides, volunteers also took classes in different schools under the programme that has been launched by the district administration.
