A student name Shreya Tandel (a standard 10 student) said that studying in this way saves the note-pen. Reading is also easily remembered and practicing writing on sea sand makes it easier to write in the examination. My parents had studied in a similar way. Most of the people in the village have studied in this wpay and have reached good and government jobs today.
"We study with all the sisters in this way for 2-3 hours a day," said Rose Tandel (a standard 6 student). If we get bored, we start playing. Then we re-read and write on the sand and practice. Reading in this way makes it easier to write an exam paper. Almost all the students in the village study in this way. This advice from our parents has proved to be very beneficial to us. Reading while walking and then writing on the sand seems to be pleasurable studying.
Sakshi Tandel (a 7th standard student) said, "I love practicing here to walk and study and writing on the sand. I have been studying on the sea beach like this just 2-3 months before the examination. After adopting this method, I can remember my lesson easily, and writing on the sand makes it easier to write in examinations. This method given by my family is like a gift from God to me.
Deepika Tandel (Std-10 student) said, "For the last 3 years, I have been doing 'Walk with Study' on the beach like this. This method was given to me by my parents. Studying in a clean environment makes reading easier to remember. We then prepare for the exam by practicing writing on the sea sand with a fork or pencil. Gandhiji also liked to 'Walk and Read' on the sea beach like this. We are happy that your parents' advised us of this method, and we are studying like this.
An opinion by the former student and a lecturer in Daman College, Gujarat.
Arun Tandel (Lecturer, Daman College) said that I was born in this
village. I have completed my education in 'Grammatical Method' by this
method: Just walking on the wet sand while reading. Today I am a
lecturer at Daman College. All I have to say is that this method
has proved to be very effective. It's wonderful to experience reading
the books while walking on the wet sand. This is a good method of
education, and it is a pleasure to see students studying like this. I
think these kids will be learning a lot by carving on the sand.

Remembering Janab Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi: A Shining Star of Educational Reform in the Indian Muslim Community On the 25th of May, 2025, India lost one of its most dedicated and visionary social reformers Janab Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi .
