A total 220 Government schools, maximum 10 in each district including Leh and Kargil are being provided Smart class rooms with large interactive board, with LCD projector and visual presenter. Not only this, a Computer Lab is also being set in each school, having power back up of 3 KVA generator for uninterrupted power supply and voltage stabilizers besides at least three KVA UPS systems (online), with one hour back up.
Sources further revealed that the agency involved in the modernization of the school class rooms with advanced technology has put the estimated cost of Rs 5.75 lakh for providing these facilities in each school. A Laptop with 13 configurations costing at least Rs 45,000 is also being provided to make the Smart Class rooms functional. Besides this three computers, four computer tables and same number of computer chairs with networking accessories for five systems are also being provided.
According to MoU signed between the NIELIT and State Education department, the project shall be completed in three months. In first phase of this project the Govt Middle and High Schools have been included and in next phase, the number of schools with similar facilities will be higher. The State Education department will have to sanction some more funds for the construction of some more additional rooms in schools, as many Middle and High Schools are facing shortage of class rooms.
The students with this facility will be able to connect with other parts of the country and visualize seminars and other education related programmes. This system will open a new window of knowledge for the students specially from the remote and far flung areas of the State like Kargil, Kupwara, Poonch, Kishtwar and Nobra area of Ladakh. The State Education department has also geared up its activities to impart training to the teachers and also engage computer savvy teachers for running the Smart Classes so as to cope up with the modern trends in education.
