No computers, no internet connection makes life miserable for Kerala's Alappuzha students
Alappuzha (Kerala), May 06(ANI): Amid nationwide lockdown, children with no access to internet and computers in Kerala are cut off from education system as most of the schools have started online classes. Surrounded by the sea and backwaters of Alappuzha, a considerable population of children are from fishermen families or families that engage in daily wage jobs. The students and parents here complain that they don't even get proper internet connection. Though tourists and many ministers flock to the annual boat race competition but the living condition of the people living in the Nehru Trophy ward has not improved. People here are dependent on country boats to go to the town as there is no connecting bridge.
