Education minister Sikandar Singh Maluka stated here on Monday that the project aimed at replacing the "traditional monotonous teaching with the modern innovative activity-based teaching and learning".

The department would impart training to 3,000 master trainers who, in turn, would share the teaching skills with other teachers of classes 9 and 10 across the state in a phased manner.
