A video containing visuals of students in a smart school purportedly said to be in Seragad in Ganjam district, went viral on social media platforms.

The video showed students in school uniforms dancing to the tunes of a hit song from the movie Pushpa playing on television in the classroom.

No teachers could be seen in the class, taking advantage of which the students seem to be enjoying their time with the television installed in the classroom for imparting smart education to them.

They played the hit number Shrivalli from movie Pushpa on TV while dancing to its tunes in the classroom.

The viral video spread like wildfire on social media platforms making people question the efficacy and use of the smart classroom in schools, particularly, when the teachers are in shortage.

When asked, the Block Education Officer (BEO) Bhaskar Lenka told OTV, “They are class-10 students. I think they have seen how to operate the TV and played the song by themselves taking advantage of absence of the teacher.”
