Mobile Phone Distribution by PREM to Tribal Girl Students for Online Classes
Bureau,Odishabarta
Berhampur:All schools have been closed since March 2020 due to the Corona pandemic. As a result, all students in India are completely dependent on online classes. But unfortunately, students in tribal areas have been deprived to access to the online classes due to financial crisis of their families and also due to not accessing mobile networks.
Keeping in this mind during this situation, on 29.06.2021, People’s Rural Education Movement (PREM) organization distributed android mobile phones to 15 disadvantaged girl students of Daringbadi block of Kandhamal district who are studying at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Berhampur. The students were staying in the government-run Special Urban Hostel in Ambapua but due to lockdown now they are in their villages. Due to above reason they are deprived of getting online education. After receiving mobile phones the students as well as their parents expressed their gratitude to Dr. Jacob Thundyil, President, PREM. In their response they said that now their children will get the opportunity to continue their study through online classes with the support of these phones. During this program M.GorettI, warden of Special Urban Hostel, Program Manager Mr. Sudhir Kumar Digal, Ms. Agnesh were present and other staff of PREM such as Ms. Himani Dash, Mr. Dilip Kumar Panda, Mr. Mr. Sanjay Kumar Digal, Mr. Bikram Bisoi were managed the program.
