Under the ‘Mission Navchetna’ initiative, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has established 114 digital classrooms across its schools as the new academic year begins. These classrooms are equipped with interactive panels and computer labs, enabling students from Classes 1 to 12 to receive education through modern digital boards.
NMC Commissioner and Administrator Dr. Abhijit Chaudhari has taken the lead in this project, aiming to introduce students to technology-based learning methods. “The goal is to provide students with quality education using new-age tools and techniques,” officials said.
To ensure effective use of the smart boards, a two-day training program for teachers commenced on Tuesday (June 17) at the auditorium of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee E-Library in Bajeria. The session was inaugurated in the presence of Additional Commissioner Vaishnavi B.
Education Officer Sadhana Sayam, IT Officer Swapnil Lokhande, Assistant Education Officer Sanjay Dighore, School Inspector Prashant Tebhurne, and Education Department Coordinator Bharat Gosavi were also present.
A total of 200 teachers will be trained in four sessions over two days. On the first day, 54 teachers received hands-on training on smart board hardware, software, and digital content management. Trainers Dr. Prabhat Tiwari and Raju Kalbande from Mumbai conducted the sessions.
Teachers were introduced to various tools available on the smart boards, including note-taking features, Devanagari and English language integration, and how to align digital resources with the school curriculum. Trainers also addressed queries raised by the teachers during the session.
The initiative aims to improve student engagement, make learning more interactive, and ensure that municipal school students stay in tune with evolving educational technologies.
