"When the COVID-19 crisis began in March, I constituted a team and prepared assignments for the students. 4G doesn't work here so with 2G we were facing problems to reach every corner. So, we decided to start from Baramulla and we tried to conduct virtual classes for every area," he added.

A teacher told ANI that online classes are in a way good to cover syllabus but only those students are being benefitted who have phones with them.
