From 12 noon to 4:30 pm in the evening, the bridge course would be telecast for the students. From 11th May 2021, video lessons for workbooks would be shown on Kalvi TV.
As per some officials it was confirmed that the bridge course along with worksheets would be filling the gap in the learning for the students.
