Nirali Rathwa, a 9th-grade student from Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in Waghodiya, experienced the thrill of her first plane journey as she boarded a flight to represent her school and state in a national-level singing competition held in Bangalore. This extraordinary opportunity provided by EMRS has allowed students from tribal areas to access quality education while nurturing their hidden talents through competitive events and educational tours. EMRS Waghodiya has become a launching pad for students hailing from tribal regions, empowering them with a strong educational foundation and providing a platform to showcase their abilities. Three girls from the school recently excelled at the state level, earning the opportunity to represent Gujarat in various sports and cultural events.
