Officials Highlight Technology's Role in Education

During the valedictory session, Prof. Amarendra P. Behera, Joint Director, CIET-NCERT, participated virtually and identified the role of technology in teaching and learning as per the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. He highlighted the potential of PM e-Vidya DTH TV Channels to bring quality educational resources within reach of diverse learners and acknowledged teachers' role in creating valuable educational content that enriches the learning experience.

Shri G. Ramesh, Director, SCERT Telangana, who attended as Guest of Honour, acknowledged the need for continued engagement, periodic reviews and monitoring to foster the adoption of digital content-creation practices in schools. Meanwhile, Sh. Bodanapally Venugopal Reddy, CEO, T-SAT, Government of Telangana, encouraged teachers to promote PM e-Vidya DTH TV Channels, T-SAT TV Channels and PM e-Vidya mobile applications among students and parents. Prof. Abhay Kumar, In-charge of PM e-Vidya DTH TV Channels, also joined online and highlighted the importance of developing quality educational content and strengthening the reach of the channels among learners across the country.

How PM e-Vidya Can Support Inclusive Digital Learning

PM e-Vidya aims to expand access to education through technology-enabled platforms, including television-based learning and digital resources. DTH television channels can offer an additional learning option to students with limited or unreliable internet access. The teacher training can contribute to this approach by facilitating the creation of curriculum-aligned content that students can use outside the classroom.

Clear explanations and appropriate graphics and lessons can also make educational material easier to follow. For government school students, such resources can complement classroom teaching and offer an opportunity to revisit concepts. Their effectiveness will be based on the quality of the content, its relevance to the curriculum and ability to address learners' diverse needs.

What Does the Programme Mean for Digital Education in Telangana?

The initiative represents a collaborative effort to empower teachers' digital capabilities and encourage them to create educational resources for wider dissemination through PM e-Vidya DTH TV Channels. The next step is to adopt the training in practice through the development and use of meaningful digital learning materials.

Continued support and review and monitoring will also play an important role in helping schools adopt these practices. By combining video-production skills with copyright awareness and responsible AI use, the programme seeks to empower teachers to contribute to a more accessible and engaging digital learning environment.
