5.1.7.1.1 All Primary Class be converted into Smart Classes

Smart Classrooms have been set up in all 29 NDMC and Navyug schools in
all Hindi/English medium sections of classes VI to XII in the year 2016-17.
Smart classrooms have transformed traditional classrooms into futuristic
technology enabled smart learn classes by amalgamating state-of-art
technology, infrastructure and professionally developed learning content. The
subject curriculum is now being made available digitally to facilitate teaching.
Such classrooms are being provided with high-end computers, advanced
interactive display system based on high end projectors. There has been
positive impact of these smart classes on school attendance, admission, result,
and academic environment, quality of teaching, school infrastructure, school
safety and school administration.

In a survey conducted by the NDMC regarding introduction of smart classes
in Primary wing. On various parameters, out of 8573 number of feedbacks
received, more than 96% of parents consider that smart classes may be
introduced in primary sections of NDMC/Navyug schools. On the basis of the
feedback received from different stakeholders i.e. students, teachers and
administrators and parents, it was proposed to introduce smart classes in
primary sections of NDMC / Navyug schools in the year 2019-2020. The work
for this project is likely to be assigned by March, 2019 and all the primary
classes are likely to be commissioned by June, 2019.
