The emotional video has left netizens teary-eyed as well.

In a video from the state’s Chandauli district that is being widely shared online, a teacher is seen walking as a large group of students surround him. As he reaches the end of the road, he turns to say a final goodbye and asks them to return, but the children immediately break into tears. While the young teacher urges them to stop crying, some of them begin wailing and even hug him tightly.

Baghel had joined the school in 2018 and was quick to find favour with the students who admired his unconventional teaching methods. His efforts also improved attendance among students in the hilly area where children often stay away from schools.

On social media, many praised and thanked the teacher, and said it was evident how hard he must have worked to develop such a bond with his students. The video also started a conversation about how hard teachers in rural areas work despite the several challenges they face on a daily basis.

When a teacher grows you from grassroot level, leaving them (even after completion of syllabus) is so so difficult. I can understand and relate what must be going on in the minds and hearts of these students. https://t.co/Mxw8jxRt2q
