BERHAMPUR: In a bid to bridge the digital divide for college students who face connectivity points and do not have smartphones, a block training officer in Odisha’s Ganjam district has taken an initiative to telecast on-line lessons by the native cable community.

The movies modeled on YouTube lessons will probably be encoded by the cable operators and telecast throughout a scheduled time slot, stated Abhinash Satapathy, BEO of Chhatrapur.

It will probably be accessible to most variety of college students as virtually each family has a TV with cable connection, he stated.

“We have mentioned with native cable operators and sarapanchs in three blocks – Chhatrapur, Khallikote and Ganjam – by the respective block growth officers.

The lessons will begin airing within the subsequent three to 4 days,” Satapathy stated.

“We have also proposed to the government about conducting classes through the cable TV network so that more and more students can take part,” the BEO added.

The slots will probably be allotted after speaking to the dad and mom and based mostly on the comfort of the scholars.

The content material will probably be telecast a number of occasions to make sure youngsters don’t miss out on the lessons, he stated.

Earlier, the headmaster of Mundamari Primary School in Dharakote block within the district, Surya Narayan Sahoo, had adopted this methodology in at the very least seven panchayats, sources stated.
