School Collapsed: This Rajasthan Farmer Gave His Only Home So 75 Children Could Study

When the roof of a government school collapsed, nearly 90 tribal families lost their only access to a nearby classroom. As the village came to terms with the loss, the question of what would happen to the children’s education remained unanswered.

Among those watching closely was 60-year-old farmer Mor Singh, who had never been to school himself but understood its value deeply. As days passed and no immediate solution emerged, he found himself thinking about the children who would now have no where to go. Within just two days of the incident, he made a decision that would quietly reshape the village’s future.

Singh chose to give up his only home and turn it into a classroom so that learning could continue without interruption. The house, built over four years through careful savings, had been meant for his family’s stability, yet he saw a more urgent need in that moment. As he opened its doors to children, he moved out with his family of eight, including his young grandson, and set up a temporary life in a plastic jhuggi beside their field with only basic essentials.
