GD Goenka Public School principal Raveen Pande claimed the school had implemented the Center’s guidelines to reduce the bag load of children up to class 2. Students were not required to carry readers and textbooks to school, Principle Raveen Pande said. “The school is going for optimum use of technology by teachers as smart classroom modules are aligned completely to the curriculum. With smart classrooms, provision of storage facilities and related infrastructural availability, the switch over has been easy and smooth. Notebooks have been replaced by worksheets for class assignments,” she said.

School chairman Sarvesh Goel said, “An interactive teaching methodology and the willingness of the teachers to adapt to the change has greatly helped in smooth implementation of the guidelines.”
