PMC to give tabs, free internet to 38,000 students of Classes IV to VIII studying in civic schools

CONSIDERING ONLINE teaching will continue this academic year due to a possible third wave and its likely impact on children, the PMC has decided to provide tablets with free internet facility to 38,000 students of Classes IV to VIII studying in civic schools. This is being done to ensure that students do not miss out on online education due to lack of required gadgets and internet facilities.

Former deputy mayor and RPI(A) corporator Siddarth Dhende had proposed to the PMC to make these tablets available to civic school students, as most were suffering due to restricted access to required facilities for attending online classes.
