The Bombay High Court said it was the Maharashtra government’s duty to ensure special online education for specially-abled students across the state on Monday. Also, suggested telecasting educational programmes using Doordarshan.  

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni was hearing public interest litigation filed by an NGO, Anamprem, raise concerns over problems being faced by students with disabilities during the pandemic. The petitioner’s advocate, Uday Warunjikar, told the court that due to various problems like non-availability of staff, or mobile facilities, students with disabilities are unable to pursue their education due to this pandemic period going on. Warunjikar suggested the government make use of local government channels and radio to impart education for such students. Chief Justice Datta said “Find out some solution.. It is the state government’s duty. You (government) can take some slot.. for one or two hours.. on Doordarshan and show special educational programmes.” 

The bench directed the petitioner to submit some alternatives to the state government and asked the government to study them and consider what measures can be undertaken to address the issue. The court has directed the government to submit its report by next year, January 18.
