KOLKATA: The Kolkata Police has tied up with an NGO and a mobile service provider in a bid to ensure children with little access to technology do not drop out of studies during the Covid period.
The collaboration between Kolkata Police, Child Relief and You, and Bharti Airtel, has been titled #PoraSunaDarabeNa (#SikshaNahiRukegi – Education will not stop). Children from financially disadvantageous families will be provided with smartphones and customized data packs for a year. The initiative aims to cover around 500 children, preferably from standards VIII-XII across 73 police stations.
