In the last few years, under the Digital India initiative of the Government of India, there has been huge success in bringing the delivery of services of various levels on an online platform. Under the aegis of Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living, it has now become easy for the people to get benefits in the form of online approvals/permissions and services from the government. The inevitable
need for digital empowerment has been realized. Online classes by educational institutions and transfer of most of the businesses from manual to online platform is a proof that it is necessary to have online options to complete important tasks. For smooth conduct of social activities and taking advantage of online facilities, availability of appropriate tools is also essential. Hence, to make Uttar Pradesh a digitally active state and for the technical empowerment of the youth of the state, the Govt. of UP has decided to distribute tablets/smartphones to the students of different sections of the state. Under this scheme, students enrolled in various teaching/training programs of higher/higher educational institutions, graduate, postgraduate, diploma, skill development, paramedical and nursing students etc. will get the benefit of this scheme. The state government will distribute tablets/smart phones to the students through their respective university/college/institute. The tablets/smartphones will help in spreading awareness about the various developmental schemes and programs of the government among the students. Various other information and updates will also be shared with them from time to time. Information about classes, syllabus etc. will also be provided to the students through flash messages by the concerned university/college/institution. Material of various educational programs will also be provided to the students.
