School in MP has 300 students who write with both hands

Right handed people are a majority in the world where only 10 percent work and write with their left hand. This list also includes famous personalities like Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey. Besides that, there’s another small group of people who have a unique skill of writing with both hands simultaneously.

While the number of people who could write with both hands constitutes only one percent of human population, a school in Madhya Pradesh has 300 students, all of whom can write with both hands. Some of these children who are ambidextrous are also able to write with both hands in different languages at the same time.

The school situated in a village has 45 minute lessons with 15 minutes devoted to handwriting practice to nurture this skill in every child. It also helps children learn new languages as they practice by writing same languages in different languages at the same time.

Being able to write isn’t just a skill to show off or get things done quickly, it also adds to concentration and increases ability for children to retain knowledge. The school was founded by former soldier VP Sharma who started it in honour of India’s first president Dr Rajendra Prasad who was also ambidextrous.

The school was founded in a remote village in the Singrauli district back in 1999, but the extraordinary ability of children led a group of South Korean researchers to visit and observe the students for two years.
