Director general school education, Vijay Kiran Anand in a letter to all the Basic Shiksha Adhikaris (BSAs), has stressed the need to ensure that teachers, students and parents to make maximum use of the Diksha app for better learning outcomes.
BSAs have been directed to organise ‘interactive sessions’ with teachers/children/parents to understand the challenges being faced in the adoption of Diksha App and Read Along App.
Teachers and headmasters are to be tasked with creating awareness volunteers at the village level for the purpose. “Through Diksha app, an additional digital learning material has been made available for the use of teachers and children, so that classroom teaching can be made interesting and effective. About 6500 contents related to 77 ETB (Energized Textbooks) up to class 1-8 are available by the Basic Education Department by adopting Diksha,” Anand said in his letter.
“Using the DIKSHA app, the digital content related to the desired topic of all classes and subjects can be accessed free of cost by the children by scanning the printed QR code in the textbooks,” he added.
He said those children or parents, not connected yet to the updated Diksha App, should download it.
He said, teacher should encourage the students and parents to promote the application.
