The Department of Higher and Technical Education, Rajasthan, has been made available online. Addressing the launch via video conferencing, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot said: “It is our priority to spread higher and technical education to remote areas, so that children living in village areas of the state can also be prepared as excellent human resources like doctors-engineers, scientists and research scholars.”
Mr Gehlot was attending the e-launch of the department through video conferencing. The decision to make the Department of Higher and Technical Education available online was taken so that students, irrespective of the location, and aspiring for higher studies in engineering, medicine and research can benefit from the online resources.
Mr Gehlot further added: “The state government is committed to making the state a leading state in the field of higher and technical education.”
प्रदेश के गांव-ढाणी में रहने वाले बच्चे भी डॉक्टर-इंजीनियर, साइंटिस्ट तथा रिसर्च स्कॉलर जैसे उत्कृष्ट मानवीय संसाधन के रूप में तैयार हो सकें, इस उद्देश्य से दूरस्थ क्षेत्रों तक उच्च एवं तकनीकी शिक्षा का प्रसार करना हमारी प्राथमिकता है। pic.twitter.com/HBrU1GIa5i
