Government Online Learning Platforms For School Students – e-learning

As the world was discovering the exact nature of a novel strain of coronavirus, students were the first to be sent home. In India, an unusual surge in the usage of online learning platforms was and is being reported with each passing day. Just like the education ministries around the world responded to this dilemma in their personal capacity by launching online education portals and programs, the Indian government, too, responded adequately by promoting and launching excellent digital initiatives and resources. These portals not only provide the students a complete access to study materials, but also allow them to engage and interact with teachers online, just like they would in a face-to-face classroom setting.
