Sundargarh: With school students in rural areas deprived of online education, two young boys have taken up the teaching task in Kuarkela village of the district.
Phanindra Singh, a college student from the village, devotes two hours to teach the students of Class VI to VIII at a club room. “Online education remains out of reach for most of the poor students who do not have access to smart phones. Poor internet connectivity is another problem,” he said.
Phanindra devotes several hours to his study and also helps the school students of his village in their study, according to a TNIE report.
MSS joint convenor Rajesh Biswal said the classes are held in batches of six students who are also educated on the importance of hand wash and personal hygiene.
Kuarkela ward member Prithviraj Singh said the students, who earlier spent their time playing or fishing, are now able to study regularly.
