The Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) along with Fit India Mission will begin live fitness sessions for school
children from April 15 onwards. The sessions will be streamed live on Fit
India’s YouTube channel. “As many schools have already initiated online or
virtual classes for students, it is equally important to invest in their
overall physical, emotional and mental well-being at home during this period,”
the board said in a recent circular.
In a letter addressed to school
principals, CBSE informed that all the live sessions are downloadable and can
be made available as video capsules to be disseminated later. The sessions,
claims the board, will be created to ensure it engages students, teachers as
well as parents.

Meanwhile, schools are holding classes
online for students until the lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic is
over. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced to extend the lockdown till
May 3. Over 10,000 people have been infected by the coronavirus in India. The death
toll in the nation due to the virus has reached 339.
For those belonging to economically weaker
sections (EWS) of the society, coping with these classes has been difficult. As
per a report, of the 25 crore students affected by the lockdown, 80 per cent
are from EWS category. These students are struggling due to lack of e-learning,
know-how and unavailability of required infrastructure.
