New Changes in Calendar

The Union Education Minister tweeted that this calendar is useful for all people with disabilities, children with special needs. Links to audiobooks, video programs, etc. are also included. In fact, the Central Human Resource Development Department (MHRD) along with NCERT released the alternative academic calendar to compensate for the loss of education to children during the lockdown.

The NCERT prepared this calendar with a study plan for the next four weeks. According to the released calendar, the number of weeks, topics, and how to teach a topic by using tools and techniques are given.  Apart from this, what activities can children do at home during the lockdown and how can they reduce mental stress is also informed.
