Last year, Prime Minister Modi had acknowledged the struggle of students after the Covid-19 led school closure. “My perspective on COVID is that you have to face the consequences of a mistake which you have not committed. This is a lesson for life that sometimes life throws unimaginable challenges at us. I believe that the loss faced by students and youth of the country is a huge loss.
