Lucknow: The state government will begin the distribution of tablets and smartphones to 1 crore students from Saturday, to mark the birthday of the former Prime Minister Bihari Vajpayee.
The Chairman of the Minister of Yogi Adityanath will spice up the distribution of Lucknow by giving 60,000 smartphones and 40,000 tablets to 1 Lakh beneficiaries.
CM will also launch the Digi Shakti and Digi Shakti Adhyayan application on Saturday.
This application will be installed before on all smartphones and tablets.
“A large number of students from each state district will participate in this program.
The purpose of this scheme is to ensure that students have easy access to distance classes, get content for study and information related to work,” said a government spokesman.
Free tablets and smartphone schemes were announced by CM earlier this year and cleaned by the cabinet.
New applications will be used by the Institute of Education or Universities concerned to provide study material to students, along with information about work-related schemes and other youth welfare schemes.
Kumar Vineet, Special Secretary (IT and Electronics), said that the government would sign a contract with infosys for the company to provide more than 3,900 programs related to education and work for young people for free.
“The government has made a complicated plan to empower young people.
Through smartphones and tablets, youth will be given excellent content for studies, competitive examinations and information about the work that they can become independent,” he said.
In the first phase of distribution, smartphones and tablets will be given to young people in the last year of their study.
After this, the program will be held at the district level for the distribution of cellphones and tablets to other students.
Youth who has not been able to register for the scheme can do so through the Digi Shakti portal from December 25 and so on.
