Chief Minister Mukul Sangma distributes tablet PCs to students

Tura: 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.
