Agartala, Aug 19, 2011 : Tripura government has decided to expand computer learning and satellite based education network in rural schools under Information and Communication Technology expansion programme of Ministry of Human Resource Development.
Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty said here that computer learning facilities would be expanded in at least 282 more rural schools besides, existing 350 schools in remote locations.
“We have 50 schools in satellite based education network in the state but the expansion was stopped because of absence of high speed internet connectivity. However, now the expansion drive is initiated following growth of internet network,” Chakraborty said.
He said that five various consultancy groups had been engaged for providing computer education among the school children under the programme since 2007 and in last year Govt of India had enhanced it substantially and had opened up more opportunities.
The state government had sincerely been trying to increase computer literacy at school level for enhancing the knowledge base of the students, Chakraborty said adding that Tripura was the first among the northeastern states to have satellite-based educational facilities, launched in 2007.
According to plan, every state would be a hub and a studio in each state capital and a maximum of 500 Satellite Interactive Terminals (SITs) set up in different schools to be linked to the hub and what would be taught in the studio could be seen and heard in the classrooms through SITs on large screens or big television sets with cameras and audio equipment available at both ends for communication.
