With over 1.5 billion children home bound, education has gone online and here is a list of online classes during lockdown. All you need to do is download the online class apps and start free lessons.
According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, about half of the country’s population has access to the internet. In parts of urban India, this percentage is much-much higher.
