For those Vasai-Virar children who are worried about missing out on their studies due to their inability to afford smart devices, there's another option now to continue with it. Local MLA Kshitij Thakur in collaboration with a trust and a college in the area has started airing classes for Std X students through a local cable network, so that they can watch them on TV. The content has been prepared based on the state board syllabus and teachers from private schools have already started recording the classes.

Speaking to mid-day, Thakur said, "The idea is to make education available to those who may be lagging behind or missing out on schooling for lack of a smart device. We prepared the content for the first term of Std X based on the state board syllabus. The classes are being aired on TV, while the team is working on other classes." The content is being prepared with help from education experts at VIVA College in Virar, which is run by Thakur's family. The college has cameras and other infrastructural support with the help of which teachers from private schools record classes and then college students edit them. Thakur said since this was for a social cause, everybody was doing it for free.
