This calendar will cater to the need of all children including Divyang children (Children with special needs).

This calendar includes activities related to four languages as subject areas, i.e., Hindi, English, Urdu and Sanskrit. The calendar also gives space to the strategies of reducing stress and anxiety among teachers, students and parents. It includes a link for chapter-wise e-content available on the e-pathshala, NROER and DIKSHA portal of GoI," Pokhriyal said.The calendar would be disseminated through DTH Channels and also conducting video conferencing with SCERTs, Directorates of Education, SCERTs, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, CBSE, State School Education Boards, etc.( With inputs from ANI )
