opt for an interactive learning method and encourage students to read books and
newspapers in the school library.
Why was this
scheme launched?
The main goal of
this scheme is to make the learning interest among the children.
This scheme is
launched as schools in the state of Tamil Nadu is shut for 19 months during the
covid-19 pandemic period. So this learning gap between the children cannot be
bridged by regular classes alone. So this scheme was launched in order to help
each child individually. For this reason, a high-level committee has been
formed by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
