Woods dark and deep: Teacher treks 5 km daily to keep promise of teaching one student

Jivan Mithari walks five kilometers daily through a dense forest to teach his lone student. He has continued this challenging journey for thirteen years to reach the remote school. The school has very few students due to migration and lack of facilities. Mithari faces risks from wild animals like leopards and gaurs on his route. His commitment remains strong despite the difficult conditions and low enrollment.
