In order to compensate for the loss of studies of students due to the corona pandemic especially in rural areas, the State Education department has decided to roll out mobile reading vans. These mobile vans will be like mini libraries having books, magazines for all age groups of students. The Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC) will run these mobile vans as a campaign for 100 days. The focus areas of these mobile vans will be educationally backward areas where the students have failed to connect digitally with various educational teaching provided by JEPC.

The Jharkhand Education Project Council has issued a guideline for mobile chariots. JEPC's State Project Director Kiran Kumari Pasi has directed all the districts that in the era of Covid pandemic, the areas where children have been deprived of education, these reading chariots will move. In an area the vans will move for two to three hours. During this time, the children of the area will come there and will be able to study. The logo of the state government and the banner of the reading campaign will be displayed in these vans. It has also been directed that with each van, there will be two volunteers and a teacher who will motivate students for availing the facilities.

From these vans children will be issued instructions through loudspeakers. The jobs of volunteers and teachers will also to clear the query of students regarding their studies. The JEPC has also issued directions that all Covid protocols should be followed during the movement of these vans.

 Along with this, sanitizers and masks will also be kept in the van. If a child comes without a mask, he will be provided a mask and hand sanitizer. It will be mandatory to send pictures and videos of each program so that it can be sent to the central government. Every week the calendar is also being released for the reading campaign.

This campaign will run till April 10, now children will be able to study on the basis of that calendar by staying at home. Routines are being made available to them through WhatsApp and other means.

As per the directives issued by the department it has been stated that students who are preparing for class VIII, X and XII board examinations focus will be on such students. It has also been stated that a teacher will contact ten students or their parents discussing the teaching provided through online education.
