Students' attendance in the government schools has reached 80 per cent after reopening. It is a kind of achievement in itself as there are various other districts, which are struggling to cross even 50 per cent mark. The reason behind such a great response is the involvement of District Education Officer (Secondary) Jagjit Singh with students. He visits around six schools daily and encourages the students not to miss their classes. He has been distributing masks to the students ensure that they come to school daily.
