Stating that Haryana Government's e-Learning scheme will definitely prove to be a milestone in

fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of Digital India, State Chief Minister Manohar Lal

Khattar on Monday said that the government is going to provide tablets and free data to 5 lakh

students studying in government schools.

“This ambitious scheme of the State Government has been named as e-learning (Advance

Digital Haryana Initiative of Government with Adaptive Modules),” Khattar added.

The Government official spokesperson said that the tablet distribution function will be held on

May 5 at the Tagore Auditorium of Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak. During this, these

tablets will be given to the students of government schools of Rohtak city. This tablet distribution

function will also start on this day in 119 blocks of the state. In other districts, ministers, MPs,

MLAs, other guests, along with the Deputy Commissioner and district administration will

distribute tablets on the same day.

Khattar said that tablets and data are tools for the students which will help them to acquire the

skills of the 21st century and open new opportunities at national and international level. Through

e-Learning, a student of Haryana will also become a global student. This ambitious scheme will

prove to be an effective step towards online education for most of the students studying in

government schools, especially those students who are unable to buy devices like smartphones

and tablets, he added.
