Heavy flooding in Bihar's Katihar district has led to the closure of schools. A local teacher is continuing education by holding classes on a boat.
Continuous rainfall and rising river levels have flooded large parts of Katihar, submerging roads and prompting authorities to shut down schools in the affected areas.
To ensure that learning does not stop, a teacher from a local school has begun conducting classes from a boat, navigating the flooded zones to reach students who cannot reach their classrooms.
The effort aims to maintain academic continuity for children while the flood situation persists, highlighting the resilience of educators in adverse conditions.
