Speaking to , Bhupemder Singh, Zoology teacher at Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Sheesh Mahil, Poonch said, "We continuously now take classes in smart classrooms.

Understanding of the subject by the students have tremendously improved with the introduction of projector and sound system."
Students also spoke to about their experience in smart classes and said it has made the learning process easy for them.

"We all are very happy now. Earlier, we had nothing here. Seeing diagrams on the projector has made the studies not only interesting but has added value to the discipline. We are gaining more knowledge now," said Khtaija Banu, another student.
