Stressing on the need for keeping children engaged with different activities and learning during the lockdown, Samoon directed the Directorate School Education Kashmir (DSEK) to engage experts from health department, UNICEF and IMHANS and career counsellors for counselling and guidance of students.

He asked them to engage with students and their parents by holding virtual interaction sessions on social networking sites like WhatsApp.
