Brandon Jenner had said it beautifully, “Sometimes we let life guide us, and other times we take life by the horns. But one thing is for sure: no matter how organized we are, or how well we plan, we can always expect the unexpected.”
The above quotation is very much true in the context of the academic year 2020 - 21. Unexpected Covid-19 and sudden lock down shattered the complete education system. However, we gathered our courage and started off the online classes on 14th April through Zoom app for classes VI to XII and Audio – Video materials through WhatsApp for classes Nursery to V. Additionally the teachers did full justice to reach out to the students by giving regular notes, and uploading audio and video recording, for all the subjects and for all the classes.
