Over the past year, schooling has been largely suspended in classrooms and only virtual learning is being undertaken. While regular online classes are held for students in senior classes, younger students are sent worksheets weekly through text messages and whatsapp. If students don’t have access to these, parents can go and collect these worksheets from school.

On Sunday, the Delhi government converted one of its schools at Rouse Avenue into a 1325 bed hospital.
