Online teaching workshop

Karnal: A meeting of the advisory and staff council was held at RKSD College in Kaithal to discuss the organising of the online training workshops to all teaching departments of the college in a phase-wise manner in July. President Saket Mangal said, "These workshops will be conducted on a daily basis and students will also be included in these". Principal Sanjay Goyal said, "The online campus education from the college with its well-qualified teaching faculty, direct and continuous 24X7 connection with the students, comprehensive virtual library, lab experiments, virtual drills of NSS, NCC, cultural and sports cannot replace classroom teaching as distance learning is provided to students only at a specific time in the year with no direct contact of the students with their teachers".
