The Tripura government, in a bid to engage students in the learning process even as educational institutes across the country continue to remain closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, is starting an initiative, Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said. So, we have decided to launch a new project — ‘Ektu Khelo, Ektu Padho’ — from June 25, for students up to class VIII,” he said. As per guidelines, lessons and assignments will be sent to students on mobile phones every morning, and feedback on their performance is to be collected in the afternoon. Around five lakh students study in 4,733 government schools in Tripura. In April, the Tripura Education department had launched a number of programmes for students through online classes and recorded videos, which were streamed on cable television channels and social media.
