Our effort is to have smart class system in all government schools so that the quality of education is enhanced in these schools and kids become more competitive,” he said.

He said that this technology has been developed by IIT Madras. He said that such schools are declared Nipun Vidyalaya by the government. On the occasion, the district magistrate honoured the block education officers and coordinators who did better work under Vidya Shakti Project by giving them certificates and symbols.
