A unique move by the civic authority as a radio school has been started in city to ease the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
As per information, the project named as ‘School outside the school ‘and the Government’s ambitious scheme ‘Result oriented study based basic skill development programme’ is implemented through this project. Under Radio School, All India Radio Nagpur (MW 585 Khz or 512.8 mt) has started broadcasting the programmes from May 1 on every Tuesday and Friday in a week at 10.35 am. The purpose of this special educational radio program is to provide regular study to students of the state at home during the lockdown period.
