On March 1, Arshad Ahmad, a government schoolteacher posted at a Pulwama school was passionate about resuming his duties and teaching the students. He had to enter the classroom exactly after 19 months of lock-down. Conscious of the loss that 19 months entailed for a student, Ahmad wanted to not waste any more time.
The last time he taught his students was August 3, 2019, two days before Article 370 was scrapped. This was followed by six months of security and information lock-down. Then in March 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic dictated another lockdown.

The school re-opening is a first after August 5 2019, with a brief opening in February 2020, and a quick closure in wake of the pandemic dictated lock-down. The schools were shut on March 9, more than a week before the first positive case was detected in Srinagar, on March 18. As the cases surged across the country, the detection was followed by a nationwide pandemic lockdown on March 25. The lockdown compelled education to go virtual.
