On farmlands along the banks of the Yamuna in East Delhi, informal ‘schools’ that used to provide after-school extra classes have now become primary learning centres for children of urban farmers. As schools across the city continue to remain shut amidst the Covid outbreak, various points under the under-construction Barapullah flyover serve as sites of several informal schools that run from morning to evening.
While government and MCD schools are offering remote learning, these provide a more direct interface, albeit with social distancing norms.
