In the first class, the teacher teaches and tells the student to hold the pencil to the copy and book.

Surprisingly, there is one teacher each for 90 to 100 students to teach Maths, Hindi alphabet and English alphabet in 5 hours.

This is the rule of RTE and planning of New Education Policy 2020

Under the Right to Education Act, there should be one teacher for 30 students in the first class. If there are more than 30 students, a separate section has to be made. Even if 35 students appear in the section, then instead of one, two sections have to be made. Similarly, in the New Education Policy, there is an instruction to conduct the studies to be done in the first class through practical or sports in the class room itself. After writing on books and stationery in the classroom, there is a mention of making them practice that thing in games too, but the teacher handling more than 30 students cannot get practical nor can give time to all the students .
