Teachers get digital devices for students

Two alumni of Kesari Higher Secondary School also come forward to enable online classes for these kids

Teachers and alumni of Kesari Higher Secondary School in T Nagar have made sure a good number of underprivileged students do not miss out on classes for want of tablets. Teachers made individual contributions ranging between ₹5,000 and ₹15,000 towards the purchase of 13 tablets. Last year, when online classes became the only option, the management did not expect the situation to drag on for an entire academic year. Apart from classes on Kalvi TV, teachers managed to teach with whatever devices the students had at home. “We did not think of approaching any donor as we thought the situation would get better soon,” says Nagula Gopalaiah, the government-aided school’s headmaster.
