While adults are trying to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives while working from home, young kids are also having to deal with classes that stretch for long hours.
Speaking of which, a 6-year-old girl from Jammu and Kashmir has raised concerns over the issue and has appealed to PM Modi to take appropriate action. Aurangzeb Naqshbandi, a journalist, shared her video on Twitter.

In the video the girl can be heard saying:
There is English, Mathematics, Urdu and EVS. And then there is computer class as well. There’s so much work for kids. Why do small kids have to deal with so much work, Modi Sahab?
She further says that kids her age are being loaded with work that students of the 6th-7th standard are given.
After the girl’s video went viral, Manoj Sinha, Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, responded to her appeal and said:
Very adorable complaint. Have directed the school education department to come out with a policy within 48 hours to lighten burden of homework on school kids. Childhood innocence is gift of God and their days should be lively, full of joy and bliss. https://t.co/8H6rWEGlDa

Her cuteness and her innocence caught the internet’s attention too and here’s what people on social media had to say about this issue:
Truly online classes are a torture for these young minds…please listen to her and save young Indians

This is what keeps our hope and spirit alive in such stressing times, this innocence which we have lost somewhere. The cuteness of this little angel is beyond doubt the best thing to start your day with hope. Modiji please listen to this honest plea from a pious and sacred soul.
