The evening coaching centers of Bandlodanga, Bautijol and Panchabanpur too have normalized their educational activities.
RSV:
RSV school has resumed its classes with students of each class being called on alternate days. The main reason to bring back the students to school is to help them re-connect with their books and studies through various educational activities like reading story books, singing, painting and revising the previous lessons.
Educational activities Providing nutritious food
To provide nutritious food to the students is another important reason. Recently, Satyaban Roy, health supervisor of the organization conducted a health check up and found that several students of Ghosaldanga and Bishnubati are suffering from malnutrition. This proves that the children lacked nutritious food during the lockdown period.

This is to mention that the products that were sold are only after fulfilling the requirements of the school and the inmates staying in the campus.
