In flood-affected areas of Bihar, a schoolteacher has turned a boat into a makeshift classroom to ensure that children's education continues despite the disruption. The initiative allows students to attend lessons while regular schools remain inaccessible due to rising waters.
Heavy rains have caused widespread flooding across several districts of Bihar, submerging roads and forcing the temporary closure of many schools.
In response, a schoolteacher from the affected area has repurposed a boat to serve as a floating classroom, conducting lessons directly on the water.
Children from nearby villages gather on the boat each day to attend classes, allowing them to continue their studies despite the disruption caused by the floodwaters.
The initiative is intended to prevent a gap in learning until regular school operations can resume once the floodwaters recede.
