Teacher teaches using loudspeaker 

In another incident, a government school in the Jharkhand state reportedly came up with an innovative solution-oriented approach despite challenges to continue the learning for the financially challenged students amid coronavirus pandemic. Teachers in Middle School located at Bankathi village in tribal-dominated Dumka block used loudspeakers to teach the students who had no internet or smartphones for virtual learning. As per reports, Shyam Kishore Singh Gandhi, the headmaster of a school student asked the school students to come to their balconies or the area outside their homes on the porch to listen to the lectures on speakers given by the teachers.
