Schools in rural India often suffer from absence of teachers. But, not any more. At least in Bikaner.
Started in October last year, a Digital Initiative for Quality Education (DIQI) programme aims at learning of children in absence of teachers.
For this, Bikaner district administration initiated DIQI by providing smart classes in more than 600 schools of district.
It has produced awesome results and helped in continuation of education for students in classrooms despite the shortage of teachers.
Till now more than 42 thousands hours study has been conducted in only 28 days in November and December.
Speaking with Indian Masterminds, 2011-batch IAS officer and the DC fo Bikaner, Bhagwati Prasad Kalal said...
“We have given smart android TVs to more than 600 schools. 2 Deaf and Dumb Schools and 28 madarsas having been already equipped with smart TVs too."
