Dear Students

Ways for students to make the most of the Coronavirus lockdown!

With high number of Covid-19 cases in India, the government has called for a total coronavirus lockdown all over the country. As it is important to slow down public movement and break the chain of the Coronavirus spread, social distancing is a must. It becomes crucial for us to stay home for this time period and stop the coronavirus from spreading further.

However, just because you are sitting at home, it doesn’t mean you cannot get any work done or learn anything new.

Here are some ideas you can explore to remain productive during the Coronavirus lockdown:

1. Do yoga and detox

Practice meditation and pranayama to destress your life and relax your soul.

2. Start painting!

Each day, you can give painting one hour of your time and simply experiment with whatever idea you get for the day.

3. Create a collage

You can create a collage by taking cut-outs from your favorite magazines and newspapers as well if you cannot get printouts of your photographs.

4. Watch the top movies and educational TV series
