The government is confident that all those who are interested in the country and the education of their children will cooperate with it," said Vijayan.He said the response to the state government's move has already been excellent."The government is moving forward with the vision that digital devices are just as important as the learning tools needed for a child's education, such as books, pencils and pens. Teacher-parent committees in many areas have contacted people from various fields to assist in this matter. Industry organizations like CII have also offered help," Vijayan said.The Chief Minister further said that in the current scenario, digital tools are a must if all students are to have the same learning opportunity."The Vidyakiranam project aims to help children who are unable to afford these.
