No Satellite signal for a year, no education
Nashik: In tribal Gadchiroli, the satellite link connecting hundreds of students to the world of virtual learning has snapped. Even as ISRO plans to set up a statewide virtual hub at the Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) in Nashik, its tribal students have started at blank screens across numerous virtual centres for nearly a year now.
“Last year, we ran BA and B.Com programmes through the satellite uplink for 15 days,” says Prof B.P.Barde, in-charge of the Aheri centre in Gadchiroli. “Since then there has been no enrolled any student for the MPSC programme. And even the 250 odd students pursuing various courses with us are not benefiting from the virtual classes in other parts of the state.”
