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).
