Unable To Attend School, Students In Mumbai's Aarey Get Phones To Study

Across Mumbai lakhs of children have seen their education disrupted by the pandemic because they do not have access to smartphones and tablets and high-speed internet connections - essential in order to access and attend the online classes that have become the new normal in the time of Covid.
