Nirmala Salvi has been working as a Computer Teacher for many years. She says that Covid brought many new innovations to the Teaching field and taught everyone many important life lessons.

Nirmala Salvi has been working as a Computer Teacher in Happy Home Public School, Udaipur, Rajasthan for the past five years. She has also worked at St. Joseph School for four years. Nirmala has done her BCA from Bhupal Nobles Group of Colleges, Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Nirmala was a dance enthusiast in her college days. Her team won the first prize in their annual college fest, Manjari.

Nirmala says that Covid was an extraordinary condition for the teaching sector. They had to completely change their teaching strategies and shift to online mode. She says that many students didn’t have a smartphone and internet to connect to online classes. Many of them missed classes and it was tough to maintain discipline in online mode. However, Nirmala says that there was a positive side to it as well. She got time to spend with her family. She cooked new dishes and helped her own children with their studies.

Nirmala says that for becoming a teacher, apart from the necessary educational requirements like B.Ed., certain other skills are a must. She says that good teachers should have command over their students. They should be both polite and strict in their approach to enable the positive development of a child.

Nirmala thinks that education and experience are two sides of a coin. Without experience, no one can apply their knowledge in the practical field. However, she also feels that one should be given an initial opportunity to gain experience and prove themselves.

Nirmala says that leaders should work for the team and not be individualistic in their approach. They should convince everyone and should not take unilateral decisions. Nirmala says that when a Class Monitor is appointed in school, it is done to inculcate leadership and team-building qualities in a child.

Nirmala says that her father is her inspiration. She says that even after not having a very good job, her father never failed to provide the best to them and always fulfilled their dreams.

In her free time, Nirmala likes listening to old songs and going on trips with her family.
