Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?

What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?
Most reputable schools in Nagpur run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview.
