As schools debate reopening Delhi Police constable resumes classes for the deprived

Delhi | Tuesday | 20th October, 2020

Summary:

Singh started his makeshift school back in 2016 and saw as many as 30 students flock from nearby juggi-jhopri clusters to attend his lessons in the evening between 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. It's been only a week since Singh has resumed classes for which he, along with his assistant one Ankit, has arranged ample safety precautions to prevent the spread of infection. He recollects how he and his students celebrate every festival on the calendar from Holi to Diwali, where they hold performances inside the temple premises and distribute gifts amongst each other. "I have bought a TV where students watch cartoons and also give them time to play for their leisure". "During the winter months, I will provide them with warm clothes and blankets to brave Delhi's biting cold," Singh says..
