On asking what inspired this school to make this record, the principal replied, “The nation-wide lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic altered the lives of the students, teachers and parents leading to self-isolation turning it extremely stressful. We came up with this idea to provide a sense of happiness and satisfaction among students, teachers and parents at a time when their lives were significantly altered by the unusual experience of self-isolation during the pandemic. This one-of-a-kind e-magazine was intended to not only foster critical and creative thinking, but also develop aesthetic sense, cultural heritage of the nation and the global need for environmental awareness even during the challenging times.”
It's a Quarterly e-magazine. The team collected articles, and contributions from students, teachers and parents from the month of April to June 2020. The e-magazine was released on 28th July 2020. This is the first e-magazine published by any school during the pandemic, claimed Dr. Sankar Prasad Dutta.
The most interesting phase of the planning stage of the e-magazine was when the team received extraordinary response from the parents who eagerly contributed to the e-magazine with their own write-ups. The pandemic lockdown was an extremely challenging time, when students and teachers were all confined to their homes. Since many of the students belong to the economically weaker section and reside in interior rural parts, there is a huge digital divide and many of the students do not have sufficient access to digital devices and internet connectivity. This was the biggest challenge, said Mr Dutta.
Dutta
said, “We feel proud at our achievement and we wish to continue to provide the
best educational services and create many more unique records.”
