ISLAMABAD: About 95% of government schools in India’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir do not have internet connectivity.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the figures the minister revealed that there are many states and union territories across the country where more than 10% of government schools don’t have internet connectivity.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “During the Covid-19 pandemic the Education Department made tall claims about providing online education to the children in rural areas. But one wonders if there was no internet connectivity how come online education was provided.”
