The project was launched in 2009 with the aim of providing high-speed internet connectivity to 250 schools and 100 community centres in rural areas of the state. The project also aims to provide educational content and resources through a dedicated educational portal, which can be accessed by students and teachers in rural areas.
The Kapil Sa Munsala project has several components, including:
* Infrastructure development: This component involves the installation of Wi-Fi hotspots and broadband connectivity in rural areas, as well as the provision of laptops, computers, and other IT equipment to schools and community centers.
* Content development: This component involves the development of educational content, such as interactive multimedia modules, e-textbooks, and other digital resources, which can be accessed by students and teachers through the educational portal.
* Capacity building: This component involves training teachers and students in the use of ICTs and digital technologies, as well as providing support and resources to ensure that the project is sustainable in the long term.
The Kapil Sa Munsala project has been successful in providing access to educational resources for students and teachers in rural areas, and has helped to improve the quality of education in these areas. The project has also been instrumental in promoting the use of ICTs in education, and has helped to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas.
