A 38-year-old teacher from a remote village in Raichur district of Karnataka has entered the India Book of Records (IBR) for directing a short film on Vidyagama, a government programme that was launched during Covid-19. Under this programme, the State Government took schools to the doorsteps of children for nearly two months.
In this programme, government teachers, under Vatara Shale (tenement schooling) scheme, held classes in shrines, community halls, homes and other available open spaces in rural areas of Karnataka.
Vidyagama was launched in August 2020, but was abruptly halted in October 2020 fearing spread of Covid-19.
