In the wake of COVID-19 schools have been asked to deliver rice to students from door to door. In this connection Reshmi Devi, president of Shankar Utkramit Middle school, Bokaro Thermal of the Bermo block, Sanjojika Sabita Kumari and Headmistress Shyama Kumari, on Wednesday said that the rice was provided to the school children of class I to class VIII.
The children are at home because schools have been shut down for the month of March because of the coronavirus epidemic, said Shyama Kumari.
The school headmistress said the door to door delivery of rice began on March 20 at Shankar UMS, Bokaro Thermal, amid the lockdown to combat the Coronavirus threat, and a large number of students have already been given rice, but in the meantime the official had declared closure of schools to curb spread of Covid-19.
After getting direct order by District superintendent of education, and Block Education Officer, again they have started delivering rice to their doors.
