Hello everyone!

I hope you all are safe and doing fine.

We all know education is a must. But are you all aware that even now in some parts of India, specially rural areas, education is not given that much importance. Moreover, with this pandemic, students have become so irresponsible regarding their studies. In rural areas, they don't have much facilities for online studies, whereas in urban areas where students have so many facilities, they are just wasting their time. Are we really on the right path? No, we are not. Even teachers face problems while teaching online, but they also try their best to teach you. They aren't even aware of features on devices these days, but they are still trying to know them just to teach you guys. It is on us how we make things work for ourselves, for our better future.

The fact that it is difficult to study online on devices (when we can do many other things online) is understandable. It is difficult to concentrate with notifications from social media apps popping up on our screens. But it's not like there is no solution to it. To study online is not impossible. You can mute notifications on your device while you are taking classes. Apart from this, students even complain about the home environment. It is true that studying at home is not so easy, when in most families parents are also working from home. But if you will discuss with your parents, they will surely understand and will even help you.

There are definitely problems in online education, but there are advantages also. For instance, you can save so much time, which earlier was wasted in travelling to schools/colleges. I have really improved myself in so many things while in lockdown. If you would look out, there are now so many opportunities online for students. In your free time, you should look for these things. By this, your time spent on devices would turn out to be useful and beneficial for you. You can take up some courses, or you can do some internships or part-time jobs. Nowadays, the online world is full of opportunities for students. It's just that you need to do some thinking, as in what you want to do, and then research work will help you find opportunities available for you. You can even take part in contests held online on different platforms for students.

It is all about how you want to take things in difficult situations like these. You can either waste your time making excuses for not doing anything, or you can utilize your time in doing something that would benefit you in future. 

Thank you.
