New fund will be set up under CMDRF, says PinarayiThe government is launching a people’s campaign to ensure digital equipment for all students, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said. For this, all children needed digital equipment, like textbooks. The first step towards this was to record how many students in each school had digital equipment and how many required it. Families buying digital equipment for their child could also provide another child with an equipment, the Chief Minister said. Local residents, former students, local self-government institutions, people’s representatives, libraries and clubs, and activists could come together to address the problems of students unable to buy equipment at the school level itself, Mr. Vijayan said.
