According to ANI, a teacher said "Education has been impacted due to COVID-19. Students here did not have smartphones. We started 'Shiksha Aapke Dwaar' (education at your doorstep) so that children don't miss out on education. More than 100 blackboards have been created on walls to teach students at their houses."
Parvati, a student of class six said the teachers explain to students the concepts that they do not understand and clear their doubts.
