Without waiting for the Prime Minister to react, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha lent an ear to the complaint of a six-year-old girl from Kashmir regarding “heavy load of home work”.
Very adorable complaint. Have directed the school education department to come out with a policy within 48 hours to lighten burden of homework on school kids. Childhood innocence is gift of God and their days should be lively, full of joy and bliss. https://t.co/8H6rWEGlDa

Manoj Sinha responded: “Very adorable complaint. Have directed the school education department to come out with a policy within 48 hours to lighten burden of homework for school kids. Childhood innocence is gift of God and their days should be lively, full of joy and bliss.”
In the 45-second clip, the girl cribs about the volume of homework for students through online classes.
The girl complains that her classes begin at 10 am and end at 2 pm. "There is English, Mathematics, Urdu and EVS. And then there is computer class as well… (Chhote bacchon ko itna kaam kyu dete ho, Modi saab) Why are small kids burdened with so much homework, PM Modi? The older kids who are in Class 7 and 8 should be given more homework,” she can be heard as saying.
Twitter users termed it as the cutest video on the internet.
