Schools and colleges in West Bengal have been closed for a long time due to lockdown. The number of drop out students is increasing. The state government has given permission to open fairs, games and other activities but has not shown any interest in opening schools. Although the state government is talking about free online education, students have to bear the cost of mobile and internet. A public interest litigation has been filed in the Chief Justice's Division Bench in the High Court over the return of drop-out students to schools and reopening of schools and colleges.
