Always wear a smile on your face.
Kritika Rathore is an Art and Craft teacher at Central Public School in Udaipur.
Alongside her teaching profession, she runs a successful business named ‘Kundan Collection’, where she personally stitches and sells children’s clothing.
Kritika believes that experience holds greater importance than education. She feels experience is limitless and offers far more valuable lessons than formal education alone.
Her success mantra is to share knowledge with others, saying, “Even if you give 1% to others, it becomes a step toward success.”
She highlights the growing variety of educational opportunities available to students today, observing that many children frequently change their career interests.
Born and brought up in Chittorgarh, Kritika completed her school and college education there itself and holds an M.A. degree in English.
Passionate about Art, she dreams of pursuing a Ph.D. in Painting. Before marriage, Kritika worked as an Art and Craft teacher and traveled to different places to enhance her skills, which significantly boosted her confidence.
When asked about her role models, Kritika Rathore credits her parents, who taught her how to solve problems smoothly and humbly. She compares life’s problems to exams, emphasizing the importance of preparation to face obstacles strongly.
In her free time, Kritika enjoys fulfilling orders for her business, painting, embroidery, and crafts. She also loves dancing to maintain her physical fitness. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she began stitching frocks, nappies, and night suits, promoting her products on Instagram under the name Kundan Collection.
Kritika emphasizes that mobile addiction can hamper social interactions, urging parents to limit their own mobile usage in front of children. She suggests engaging children in productive hobbies like painting and crafts. Instead of isolating children with devices, parents should involve them in family activities and ensure they socialize with guests.
Kritika's favorite motivational quote is: "Always wear a smile on your face, as every task gets completed more smoothly with a smile."
According to Kritika, parents should pay attention to their children’s true passions and support them in pursuing their dreams rather than forcing their own wishes on them. She advises parents to participate in their children’s activities and spend quality time with them to reduce mobile phone addiction.
She strongly believes that spending time together as a family builds healthy relationships and prevents children from becoming overly dependent on gadgets.
