    Although government schools start their new session in July, since 2015, the government followed footsteps of CBSE/ICSE and re-opened institutions in April.

    It seems they were not prepared for an early session as students were handed old textbooks (which are in bad shape), disappointing them. A teacher said kids weren't happy with this.

    Teachers used cardboard, sketches, and blackboard to teach students English alphabets.
