Sri Vijaya Puram, Aug. 23: The Adhyaksh, Zilla Parishad South Andaman, Shri P. Ummer, inaugurated the newly established Computer Laboratories at ZPVKV Ferrargunj and ZPVKV Shore Point today. The Zilla Parishad South Andaman has provided computers and the necessary infrastructure and facilities to both schools with the objective of strengthening digital education and providing students greater access to modern, technology-enabled learning. The initiative is particularly aimed at empowering students from rural and remote areas with essential computer skills and enabling them to effectively utilise digital resources for their education.
Addressing the gathering, Adhyaksh emphasised that students in rural areas should not be deprived of the opportunities available to students elsewhere. He stated that the establishment of computer laboratories in the schools is therefore an important step towards bridging the digital divide and creating better educational opportunities for children.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Prakash Adhikari, Chairman, Education and Social Justice Committee, stated that the Zilla Parishad would continue to accord priority to the development of educational infrastructure and make efforts to provide schools under its jurisdiction with modern facilities, wherever feasible.
In his address, Shri Rajanish Kumar Singh, IAS, Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad South Andaman, appreciated the initiative and stated that the availability of computers in schools would provide students with valuable exposure to digital learning.
The inauguration program was also attended by Shri P. A. Sharfuddin, Chairman, Works and Development Committee, Shri Abdul Bashir, ZPM, Ferrargunj; and Smti Dhana Rekha, ZPM, Shore Point Constituency, besides teachers, students, parents and local representatives.
