Shi Kshan is such a flame, which always works to spread light in everyone's life. The number of devotees never decreases. Education means not wasting even a moment to learn or teach. Learning something every moment is education. Which is received not only between the four walls but also from ten directions. For which eyes, hearts and minds have to be kept open, because education is not a habit to be pushed! Khawda area of Bhuj taluka consists of 44 villages, small and big, in three belts, namely Khari, Kuran and Tuga. If we go to the village of Tuga Patti or any of its villages and talk about education, the same name comes to everyone's tongue that is our Dr. Ismail Master Sahib used to teach us that we have not yet forgotten. A name that plays on the tongues of the local people and is liked is not the same. In this area, the school still has to work hard to bring children. Born on the ninth of September-1944 in the area, he started teaching in Madrasa in 1957 with a monthly remuneration of 20 rupees. Then Government Local Board School and in 1970 P.T.C. He taught in a panchayat school. Dr. Ismail Deraj Sama proved to be the Messiah of the educationally backward areas. Educated teachers are many, but born teachers are few and far between. A born teacher who knows nothing but to teach. Whatever the parent or teacher deems to be the case for the child. Bring rice to school in the morning, eat bread, onion and curd with the children and start the work of education again, no holiday, no vacation. If there is a good monsoon, the parents get a vacation for a few days to help in agriculture. The 365 days 24 group school principal who worked till the last breath with a unique method of education instilled in hundreds of children in the area a hunger for education that has not yet been quenched. The scent of his teaching work in Tuga area reached Delhi. On September 5-1995 His Excellency President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma was awarded the title of 'Best Teacher' by Varad. Along with teaching work, he worked as a doctor by scrambling between black and white hills in this area and collected more than 100 samples of herbs having Ayurvedic properties. Along with this, samples related to the fossil geological origin of ancient times were also collected. Also very knowledgeable about the birds in the Tuga area. To get blessings from the space of Ismail Saheb, who single-handedly did the job of maintaining the rural culture, one has to develop as much spirit as him! Dr. Lilbai Junas Sama, the daughter of Ismail Saheb who was prepared and acquired general knowledge, is a girl who impresses tourists coming to Kutch and many who come to ensure the children's general knowledge with her knowledge. She is also working as a director in 'Khavda Mahila Vikas Sanghatan' established for the upliftment of women in the area to offer true devotion to her Guru. She continuously strives to make a difference in the lives of many sisters in this area through her skills and knowledge to bring about livelihood, health and education.
