Along with the award ceremony, three initiatives were also announced-
CBSE’s Calendar of Activity, ten manuals for schools, teachers and students and Vidya Daan.
Vidya Daan is a unique initiative in which a repository of content is prepared by the teachers by uploading study materials for students of class 6th to 10th on an on-line platform, Diksha App.
While addressing the event, awardees said that the internet is a great learning tool but the role of teachers has become more significant as the young and impressionable minds should be guided while accessing the internet.
