Colleges re-open in Kashmir after long break

Jubilant scenes were seen outside almost all the colleges which reopened today and students were excited to attend the classes physically.
“Online classes were very little fruitful to us. Sometimes, the high speed internet blockade added to our miseries. We couldn’t comprehend what was being lectured online as technical glitches always spoiled the very purpose of online lectures,” Amina, a student said.
She said that the experience of online classes was more than a disaster as there were more losses than the gains during the entire period.
Insha, another college student, said that attending academics physically after a huge gap was joyous as she was able to meet her friends and witness lectures offline.
“Moreover, remaining confined to four walls was mentally disturbing. We badly needed this opportunity to be physically present in our classes. We hope that there is no untoward incident which would hamper the normal work in colleges,” she said.
Pertinently, the Jammu and Kashmir higher education department on December-23 announced winter vacation for all degree colleges of Kashmir division and winter zones of Jammu division from December-27-2021. (KNO)
