E-tablets for 100 school students

With an aim to enhance the digital learning skills of students, e-tablets worth ₹20 lakh were distributed by RC Panchsheel Mysore, RID 3181, to 100 ­beneficiaries from 50 ­government schools in ­Chamarajanagar district of  Karnataka. The ­project was done with the support of RC ­Chamarajanagar, Infosys and Prof Rangaraju, chairman, INTACH-Mysuru chapter.

Rotary Club of Panchsheel ­Mysore will also provide an ­intensive crash course to 43 tribal students who had dropped out of school to prepare them for the Class 10 exams. After ­inspecting a school building of heritage value, INTACH members have decided to renovate it so that it offers a ­conducive learning ­ambience for students.

A computer lab will be set up at the ­Chamarajanagar Prison by Infosys to enhance the knowledge skills of the convicts which will help them in their rehabilitation. The ­tablet handover event was attended by 500 people including four MLAs — C ­Puttarangashetty (­Chamarajanagar), A R ­Krishnamurthy (Kollegal), H M Ganesh Prasad (Gundlupet) and A Manjunath (Magadi).
