Good old Doordarshan comes in handy for new-normal classes

Engaging the high school children this academic year, the much-awaited classes on Doordarshan (Chandana channel) begin on Monday.

Amidst uncertainty over opening of schools this academic year, with an aim to keep students engaged in the curriculum, the department of public instruction has launched classes via Doordarshan’s regional channel Chandana.

The move is expected to bridge the growing gap between Urban and Rural students, as the latter have to face poor internet connectivity. The department has issued a detailed time-table for classes 8, 9 and 10.

In the first phase, the department has issued the schedule for 10 days (from July 20 to July 31). Soon after the completion of the first 10 days, the second time-table will be announced.
