The present project worth Rs. 2.42 crores will be executed by EdCIL (India) Limited, a Miniratna PSU of the Govt. of India. The initiative is expected to improve the learning outcomes among students as well as reduce the digital divide that exists between students of Government schools vis a vis Private schools.
