Kullu, August 26

A businessman of the Upper Badah area of Kullu town yesterday donated two smartphones to needy students for attending online classes amid the Covid-19 outbreak. Upon the appeal of Kullu Kar Sewa Dal to well-to-do people to give smartphones to meritorious children of poor families, Sumit Sharma, owner of a smartphone agency, donated two smartphones to students chosen by the association.

The students said they had to go to other children’s homes to study online. They mostly end up missing their classes, they said.

Kullu Kar Sewa Dal president Mandeep Singh said there were many students who were not able to study online because of the lack of smartphone. He said the association had appealed to the masses to come forward and help such students.
