Ease internet access

While the debate over whether to conduct all academic classes over the internet amidst the pandemic remains prevalent, a major problem that stands as a barrier is the issue of affordability and access to uninterrupted internet connection. As many of our students come from rural areas, they don't have the opportunity to use the internet with ease. Where there is no connection of the basic wireless internet services, the students must opt for the data networks, which tend to be costly. As a student myself, I would like to humbly request the authorities to ensure internet access. Another feasible option could be to sign contracts with telecommunication companies to provide internet to students at a subsidised rate, which will benefit the pupils immensely.
