Civil society members have come forward in Jharkhand to solve the crises of oxygen and equipment amid the continuous surge in Covid-19 cases.
Members of Bokaro Old Xaverians’ Associations (Boxa), an alumni association of St Xavier’s School, Bokaro, which started distributing oxygen and equipment to needy staff of their alma mater and to ailing parents of alumni members at a nominal cost on May 1, have decided to widen their ambit and provide oxygen cylinders to all members of the society.
“We started an oxygen bank on our school campus wherein we provided oxygen cylinders and regulators to parents of our alumni members and staff and their family members of St Xavier’s School. However, we are going to widen its ambit and cater to all people depending on the availability of oxygen cylinders. We do not charge a single penny to those who are financially poor but only charge Rs 500 for oxygen cylinders and a daily rental of Rs 50 to those who can afford.

Ranchi: Although the state government in a late evening order on Thursday allowed schools to reopen from Class VIII onwards, most of the educational institutions said they will go ahead with their plan to conduct the year-end examinations online.
Principal of Guru Nanak Senior Secondary School Manohar Lal said, “There will be no change in the examination plan of our school and several others. The dates of tests have already been announced.”
Lal also said this time, his school will emphasise more on multiple choice questions (MCQ) than subjective types. During the examinations, students will be divided into smaller groups for closer monitoring by teachers.
