Barmer villages: School now comes riding a camel

Their school is in the middle of the Thar desert and there are no roads leading to it or the villages they live in. Mobile network there is extremely poor. Then, even this solitary school shut due to lockdown. So, when about 700 children of a government senior secondary school in Bhimtal in Barmer were on the verge of dropping out, their teachers hit upon an innovative way to reach out to them – travel on camelback to hold classes right in their villages.
