The Basic Education Council has decided to make a web series on the lives of great personalities of India for the children studying in primary schools so as to sensitise the young generation about the ideals of these personalities.
"The District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) has prepared a web series of 50 episodes on various personalities, including freedom fighters, scientists, singers, politicians. This will be shown to the children under the Prerna Mission so that they may imbibe their ideals to achieve a better place in life," a government spokesman said here on Sunday.
He said in the modern times, children learnt more quickly through video than from books and therefore, a web series had been prepared for children on the great personalities of India. He said the web series of 50 episodes was being made on the great personalities of India based on the text books.
The personalities included in the web series include great poet Kalidas, revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, freedom fighters and country's famous singers and actors.
"Their lives, their struggle and success stories will inspire the impressionable minds," the government spokesman said.
The DIET has a YouTube channel called DIET Lucknow with 2.5 lakh subscribers. Around 86 videos have already been uploaded so far. The link of the video is also shared with teachers and children of primary schools. The DIET has also made informative videos on how to prevent children from malnutrition, novel coronavirus etc.
DIET, Lucknow Principal Dr Pawan Sachan says that children learn very easily through these videos. These videos are also being sent to them also.
