UP Government to Establish Digital Libraries at the Gram Panchayat Level
This initiative is designed to provide children in rural areas with access to modern educational resources, helping them stay current in the digital age.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister emphasized the importance of connecting rural students with digital education and providing them access to quality learning materials. He highlighted that as education evolves, it is vital to make e-books, digital content, and other study resources readily available to children in villages. Establishing digital libraries at the gram panchayat level will be essential to this effort.
According to the CM, each digital library will feature books, quizzes, videos, audio lectures, and various educational resources to create a more engaging learning experience. The management of these libraries will fall under the jurisdiction of the gram panchayats, with the Gram Pradhan and Secretaries overseeing operations. Assistant officials will be appointed to ensure proper functioning and upkeep.
The Uttar Pradesh government plans to invest ₹4 lakh for each digital library, allocating ₹2 lakh for the procurement of digital equipment, including computers, printers, and internet access, and another ₹2 lakh for acquiring both digital and hard-copy books. These libraries will not only offer textbooks but also e-books and advanced study materials across multiple subjects. Additionally, students will benefit from modern audio-visual tools and internet connectivity for online learning and research.
A well-organized management system will facilitate easy access to preferred study materials for students. The government is confident that this initiative will improve educational quality in rural regions and enhance digital literacy among students. This project represents a significant step towards realizing the vision of ‘Developed India 2047,’ which emphasizes the importance of digital education.
