Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Thursday said that this was the era of gathering more and more knowledge through use of Information Technology and enthusiastic people eager to learn could progress in this new era. The Chief Minister said this while distributing free Tablets among 1,143 students of six Government colleges in his home town in Kawardha here on Thursday.
He said that youth should give priority to their career along with studies and sports as their parents had high expectations from them. The Tablets being provided to the students will prove helpful in studies and building their career, he added. Singh said that there should be a spark in youth to acquire knowledge. Since IT tools were helpful in studies, the State Government was providing free laptops and Tablets to the students.
Besides this, the State Government had also decided to provide free WiFI service on the campus of all Government colleges. This would facilitate the students to access internet through their Tablets and they could get connected with the country and world to get information, Singh added.
