Coronavirus – Shift online classes to Doordarshan: Tutor urges authorities

Bengaluru: Jaishree Ganeshan, a tutor, social worker and author has come up with a new idea for remote teaching which will benefit students more during COVID-19 days. The disadvantages of children using mobile phones at a young age are severe, but due to online classes, parents have no other option but to give their phones to little ones.

Jaishree has come up with a new idea and has urged the ministry of information and broadcasting, states and the Centre to stream classes on the TV channel Doordarshan free of cost for children. She said this can benefit students from Class 1 to Class 10, as the reach is more, and the tool has a recall value and has a wider view.
