The odd part

Proving existence via a mandatory selfie in regions where even the internet is afraid to venture.

What happened

The Uttar Pradesh Education Department's mandatory online attendance has turned teachers into involuntary extreme athletes. Educators in remote regions are now reporting for duty by climbing trees or trekking to specific 'signal-rich' hilltops just to upload their geofenced selfies by 7:30 AM. The department remains unfazed by connectivity issues, suggesting that teachers are finally getting the 'high-level' education training they always needed. If the 4G fails, teachers are reportedly trying to transmit their attendance via Morse code and sheer willpower.
