Among the many changes the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the lives of people is classrooms being shifted online. While students can attend classes from the comfort of their homes (those who can afford the privilege, of course) teachers can very well do all that they do in a classroom, from their homes.
One such teacher, Moumita B, a chemistry teacher from Pune, became an internet sensation, thanks to her innovative (read jugaad) way of live streaming the classes.
Moumita B did not have a tripod. So she made one, using a hanger and clothes she used as ropes, to hanger it to a chair and mount the mobile phone on the hanger.
Sharing the video of the same on LinkedIn, she wrote: "As I didn’t have any tripod so I made an Indian jugad for taking online classes from my home," adding "my only motive was to create a classroom environment with interaction and with board work so students find it fruitful."
Her dedication has impressed netizens.
