NEW DELHI (Reuters) - In a squalid slum below a partially built flyover in eastern Delhi, Satyendra Pal stands by a whiteboard propped against a straw hut, with half a dozen children wearing masks and sitting on the floor looking up at him.
This is Pal's open air classroom, where he teaches children in their early teens, giving them their only lessons at present after India's schools shut four months ago as part of a lockdown to control the spread of the coronavirus.
