In a significant move to bridge the digital divide, the district administration is set to provide modern educational tools to students in 14 government schools. The initiative aims to offer a more dynamic and equitable learning experience, especially for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
As part of this groundbreaking effort, 115 Primebook 4G 4/64GB laptops have been procured, specially designed for students and equipped with Ei PAL’s (Personalised and Adaptive Learning) Mindspark software. This integration allows for AI-powered, personalised learning, which adapts to the individual needs of each student.
Deputy Commissioner Jitendra Jorwal emphasised the initiative’s goal of offering the best learning experiences to students in government schools. He stated, “In this cutting-edge technology era, exposure is a must for all. These laptops are part of a larger effort to democratise digital education while ensuring security and accessibility for every student.”
The new learning tools will ensure that students have access to modern educational resources, eliminating the gap between students in government and private schools. The laptops are designed with durability, affordability, and advanced safety features, including a secure operating system, controlled access, and data encryption.
The laptops will be distributed across the 14 schools based on student population and digital readiness. In addition to device distribution, teachers will receive structured training to help them track student progress using data-driven insights and digital tools. “If successful, this initiative could serve as a model for broader implementation across more schools,” said Jorwal.
Students in the selected schools are eager about the changes. A student from GSSS, Cemetery Road, expressed their enthusiasm, saying, “Our families cannot afford expensive laptops, and we never knew we could access the entire world with just one click. At least we will no longer feel left out.”
The project was made possible with the support of Satyen Bhatia and the International Marketing Corporation Pvt Ltd, which provided the laptops. Their contribution has been crucial in bringing this transformation to the students of government schools.
