With 2.38 lakh deaths (till 8th May 2021) due to COVID-19, India is going through the biggest disaster of the century where lakhs of families are devastated and facing a crisis for the lifetime. Further, increasing job losses and unemployment has made it difficult for many families to support education of their children
