A.K. Adith’s speaks about how fine and performing arts play the role of an underdog in the Indian education system. Through the description of his experiences that he had while teaching children in Assam, he explains how he attempts to change the way education works in the country by employing a unique method of teaching- merging arts into mainstream education, teaching subjects like math and science through arts. A consultant specialising in creativity and recruitment, AK Adith is a believer in the power of dance and theatre. He currently works at the Ayang Trust at Majuli Island, teaching youngsters through the fine and performing arts. His current job allows him to work with children something he loves. His life changed in 2017 when he met Ayang’s founder Bipin Dhane. He was invited to teach with Ayang for a week. His experiences there convinced him to leave Chennai to work with children in Majuli. It was his exploration that led him to discover and engage in something new incredible.
