Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb launched a 24×7 Education channel, which will offer lessons to school students, in line with the NCERT syllabus, and help them “make up for the lost Learning time” amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Deb, during his address following the launch of ‘Vande Tripura’, said this is the first such initiative by his government to ensure that students do not miss out on their lessons for an extended period of time.
Education minister Ratan Lal Nath, on his part, said, his department launched an innovative scheme — Notun Disha (new direction) which is aimed at assessing and boosting the academic prowess of elementary school students, but the pandemic has brought everything to a halt.
