Teachers in Rajasthan’s Barmer have to ride camels to reach the homes of students in desert areas or places which have limited access to mobile networks. Roop Singh Jhakad, Principal, Government Higher Senior School, Bhimthal said, ‘I salute and thank this team of teachers. This should be continued further.’ Rajasthan education department director Saurav Swam said, ‘Out of 75 lakh students, many do not have mobile phones. So the state government decided that teachers will go to their homes once a week for class 1-8, and twice a week for class 9-12.’
