The Rajasthan Government will showcase its Rs. 218-crore Information Technology education plan at a meeting of the Jordan Education Initiative in Jordan on May 17 and 18 to attract the attention of the global IT giants to the State. The platform will be used to put the ambitious project for strengthening of school education before the world community.
More than 2,000 schools in the State are proposed to be equipped with modern facilities through the extension of IT, as part of which computer labs will be established, courses introduced and teachers provided with training. The second part of the venture envisages linking of schools with the proposed Knowledge Corridor project along the Jaipur-Delhi national highway.
The Chief Minister, Vasundhara Raje, had evinced a keen interest in the public-private partnership model of the Jordan Education Initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and promised to extend full support if the similar model was introduced in Rajasthan. The initiative aims at improving the education scenario through innovation, reforms, capacity building and catalysing industry.
The Education Minister, Ghanshyam Tiwari, and the Principal Secretary, Education, C.K. Mathew, will represent Rajasthan in the meeting with their concrete proposals for implementation of the IT education plan.
According to the official sources here, the first part of the project includes 753 girls` secondary and senior secondary schools which are proposed to be modernised by the extension of IT. An expenditure of Rs. 67 crores is likely to be incurred on this segment of the project.
The second proposal is regarding the upgradation of schools functioning along the Jaipur-Delhi highway by linking them with the Knowledge Corridor project. It is expected to develop an employment-oriented outlook among the students and associate them with the reputed companies involved in the Knowledge Corridor project. The sources said as many as 1,500 schools in Jaipur and Alwar districts were likely to benefit from the scheme to be implemented at a cost of Rs. 151 crores.
The presentation to be made by the State in Jordan will include the issues such as the present status of education facilities, number of students, concrete steps to improve the quality of education and forthcoming schemes in the education sector.
The State is likely to get associated with the world level IT education if the proposals get a nod of approval in the global platform. The presentation would also prove to be a milestone in strengthening education system if the leaders from the IT and telecom industry agree to join hands with the State Government for implementation of the proposed plan.
