They cannot come to the school and most of them do not have smartphones to participate in the online learning that we had initiated. So, we started a process of distributing smartphones to the needy students.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As of now, 50 smartphones have been distributed benefitting 107 students. Also, an additional 150 students are getting internet data recharge, further benefiting 228 students. Our endeavor to reach more students over the coming months will continue as it appears that the schools may not reopen until the end of the year.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding the smartphones, our chief executive, Jaydeep Chakraborty, said that these phones give interaction of our students with the teachers, without which many of our youngsters will fall further behind and some may drop out of the system altogether.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
