New Delhi: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-day visit to Gujarat kickstarted today, he interacted with the teachers and students of the 'Command and Control Centre for Schools' in Gandhinagar, reported news agency ANI.
During his interaction, he asked the headteacher Rajashri Patel from Ambaji about the inconveniences of indulging in the new technology. She responded to the question by saying, “During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, many students studied via online classes. The government's 'Diksha' portal helped people like me to enable, accelerate and amplify solutions in the realm of teacher education."
"The content on this portal is very interesting as well. Many opted not to get distracted by computer games and chose to study on this app instead. The morale of my fellow teachers also got a boost," she added.
The PM also interacted with the students asking them if they were still burdened with studies.
A 7th standard student Ashruka responded to the question by saying, “I like coming to this Centre to get education and garner knowledge."
