Today, on the day of Teacher’s Day, every person has to be bowed down, who gave light to the society with his knowledge. Hari Om Jindal, a resident of Ludhiana district of Punjab, is also one such teacher, who snatched the garbage from the hands of the children living in the slum and handed them books. Today the slum children taught by him speak fluent English. He has so far educated 500 children, who are now aware of their entitlements to lead a better life. Hariom Jindal, a lawyer by profession, runs 3 such schools in Ludhiana, where children living in the garbage collector’s slum are taking education.
Hariom Jindal says that this journey started in 2013 and is going on continuously. Actually he wanted to write a book on the education system. He had to close his international shipping business in 1998. He took law degree in 2012 and has been teaching such children since 2013. He says that once he went to the slum area to get information about the level of education, he could not stop seeing the children picking up garbage and he started teaching them. He teaches them through the National Open School. He says that his aim is to educate children as well as make them aware of their rights, rights and their responsibilities towards the country and society.

It was not easy, celebrated by feeding laddoos and chocolates
Hariom Jindal says that it was a very difficult task. Initially the children were not ready to study. He used to take them daily with laddoos and chocolates and he started calling them uncle of Laddu. Afterwards, slowly started talking about studies. With great difficulty, his family was persuaded and now 150 children study with him. There are many children who have passed 5th and 8th standard.
Hari Om teaches administration, not A for Apple
Hari Om Jindal is not only giving bookish knowledge to the children, but is also making them aware. That’s why their way of teaching children is also different. He teaches children A for Apple, not administration, B for boy, not bureaucracy. He has prepared a special book of alphabets for children (Empowerment through Knowledge). He points out that there are two big advantages of teaching like this. First children are educated, second they are aware of the society. He makes the children understand what is administration and what is constitution.

Education is also available at computer center
Hariom Jindal is also teaching children to operate computers. A computer center has been set up for this. Where children learn to operate computers for free. His work is now visible on the ground. His taught children speak fluent English. Many children have been honored for their talent at different forums. Here Munni, who is in the 5th class, wants to become a DC and Sunita wants to become a lawyer, so that she can change the system of education later.
Hari Om Jindal saw many ups and downs in life
It is said that if you do some noble work, then there are many problems in it. Same thing happened with Hari Om Jindal. Born on 09 June 1966 in Ludhiana, Hari Om Jindal’s childhood did not go like a normal child. Father Sudarshan Jindal was a businessman by profession. Like every father, he wanted to give a better life to his child, but due to loss in business, he had to suddenly shift to Firozpur. This was the reason that Hariom’s matriculation level education took place in the village itself.
Somehow, he continued his studies and left the village and enrolled in a college in Chandigarh for his graduation. According to Jindal, once his father’s business came to a standstill, there was a financial crisis. Then he started the work of international shipping and that too had to be stopped. Now he is satisfied to a great extent by doing social service. He runs the house by advocacy and runs the school with the help of the people.
