Students need to show inquisitiveness towards the online initiatives by the institutions. They must remain connected with the teachers and their institutions and generate more interest by asking relevant queries about their subjects. This will give a boost to the teachers and institutions to be more effective online. Students have a responsibility to stay connected with the friends and engage them in learning. They should not forget poor students who may have lot of difficulties and even don’t possess relevant gadgets and a supporting environment to take benefits of online learning. Students all over the world are being affected and more and more schools and universities have been forced to close their doors. However, it is also important not to panic and believe in the power of sharing knowledge, now more than ever. Students must try to avoid doing unproductive activities. They can use timetables and to-do lists that will help them structure their day and use their time wisely. They must find some creative works to do and can even go for free online courses to earn certifications that can help them in future. But they must also take breaks, drink some water and come back with more energy. In this big crisis we must remember to stay motivated, focused and continue to keep positive. We should take a pledge to help one another and our society to defeat this corona virus.
