The District Panchayat is all set to launch an ambitious computerisation project for all schools under its purview, soon. Along with infrastructure development, the panchayat envisages an ambitious five-year project which will help students access the latest technology and gradually turn the classrooms into smart classrooms.

Digital projector, audio, computers and internet facilities in all classrooms, wifi connectivity etc are being planned.

Moreover, arrangements will be made for accessing General Education Department’s education channel Victors’ Channel, he said. Infrastructure facilities in all the 53 government schools under the panchayat will also be given a facelift. Each school will have better seating arrangements, fans, generator and modern amenities.

Though a significant amount of ICT equipment has been made available through the ICT project initiated by the General Education Department, with the support of the Centre, much more needs to be done. More gadgets are required to meet the needs of all the students.
