Despite being physically challenged, Dharampal is enthusiastic about his profession. When asked if he faces any trouble in making videos, he says, “Being a math teacher, my job is to find solution to every problem, not to get lost in it.” He uploads at least three lectures a week for Classes VI to X. “Looking at the current situation, I decided to reach out to students through YouTube. I have been getting a great response,” he said.

Dharampal is also the state resource person for mathematics. Baljit Singh has been uploading up to seven lectures daily for Classes VI to XII. He uses small stories with interesting examples to clear the concepts. There are some other teachers in the state who are reaching out to their students using online platforms.
