Chief Minister Mukul Sangma distributes tablet PCs to students
Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma today distributed tablet PCs to 2,000 Class 12 students absolutely free of cost in the West Garo Hills district under a government scheme to aid digital learning.
Last year, around 25,000 tablet PCs were distributed to Class 12 students across the state.
These computers come pre-loaded with study material for the students and also carry sample papers for medical and engineering entrance examinations.
These computers are said to be equipped with Wi-Fi.
It seems that Mr Sangma has taken a leaf out of his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Akhilesh Yadav's notebook.
The UP Chief Minister has since March this year implemented a popular scheme where Class 12 students are given laptops free of cost.
