Chief
Minister said that the whole world was affected during the Corona period.
During this period, digital education was started in Chhattisgarh. Despite many
challenges during the Corona pandemic, the teachers discharged their academic
responsibilities very well. In Chhattisgarh, stories of Guruji with umbrella,
Guruji with bell, and Guruji with motorcycle were seen. During the Corona
period, teachers did not allow the education of children to be stopped. In the
state, more than 75,000 teachers made recordings on various subjects and
provided study material to the children, the benefit of which was taken by the
children of Chhattisgarh as well as other states. Where there was network
problem, Bluetooth (Bultu Ke Bol) was used for offline education. In the
lockdown, when the children were at home, innovation was started to educate
them in sports, in which the parents of the children were also involved.
