They continued to take online courses, which helped us complete the studies. There was not much difference between offline and online lessons as our teachers made sure we got the best learning results. »
The other joint leader, Rounak Mandal of Burdwan CMS School Secondary School in East Burdwan District, said, “It saved me a lot of time as the lessons were conducted online.

Schools across the state had reopened in November last year after a 20-month hiatus and only students in grades 9 to 12 were allowed to take physical lessons. But they were closed again in January following a rapid rise in infection cases in the state. Schools did not reopen until the new academic session in April.
