Shrikanth Ram Patagar, a drama teacher at the Karnataka Public School in Thirthahalli, knew the importance of regular offline contact with students, considering the patchy Internet access in the area. So, during the COVID-19 lockdown, he went to villages to meet his students every day. “Every day, I met at least 10 students during the lockdown. During the visits, I interacted with them and spoke to their parents. This continued for months and the students were aware that I would be there the next day. Our colleagues also did this exercise and it forced the students to do their homework and study every day,” says Mr. Patagar.More Related News
