Realising that not all school students have access to education amidst the coronavirus crisis, a group of students of Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT) at Burla are providing free tutorials and guidance through their initiative ‘Unlock Education: The New Face of Knowledge’, reported The New Indian Express (TNIE).
Founder Hrudanand Prusty, a BTech (Metallurgy) student, said the virtual tuitions are being provided to students of Class VIII to X belonging to any of the three boards in the state, the report said.
“We started this initiative after realising that a large number of school students are not getting learning guidance due to various reasons during the lockdown,” TNIE reported Prusty as saying.
What started as an initiative by Prusty and his two what is the difference between computer science and computer engineering and Ayushi Swain on Facebook in the first week of July, is now a 50-member strong group with students from different colleges.
Now, apart from clearing their doubts on a WhatsApp group, students also clear their doubts on audio and video calls, besides lectures on YouTube. The ‘Unlock Team’ remains online from 6 am to 1 am every day.
