In a significant stride towards advancing education, Rotary India Literacy Mission (RILM) recently presented a comprehensive Multi-Media E-Learning content spanning classes I-XII to the Government of Nagaland. This momentous occasion witnessed the handover of this invaluable resource to the Director of SCERT Nagaland, Keviraleu Kerhuo, alongside distinguished officials, including Mrs. Keruupfeu Rupreo, Addl. Director, SCERT, Government of Nagaland, and Mr. Pekruzetuo Kesiezie, Addl. Director, SCERT, Government of Nagaland. The event also featured the participation of Mr. Shekhar Mehta, President of Rotary International (2021-22), who highlighted Rotary India Literacy Mission's commendable reach, having impacted millions of children across India with its E-Learning program.
During the pandemic, RILM made a substantial contribution by offering the entire content for the 12 PMeVidya Channels broadcasted on National Television. This initiative benefitted countless children, ensuring they didn't miss out on valuable learning opportunities. With the Government of India's introduction of 200 PMeVidya Channels across various states, RILM has extended its support by providing this content to individual states upon request. On October 31, the Government of Nagaland became the latest beneficiary of this educational resource.
The content will be accessible through multiple PM-eVidya channels and the Diksha portal in Mizoram. Notably, the content has been meticulously developed by Rotary India Literacy Mission and has received the approval of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). It is fully aligned with the NCERT-guided syllabus.
Rotary in India has taken up the mission to promote 'Total Literacy and Quality Education' in the country through its 'T-E-A-C-H' Program, comprising components such as 'Teacher Support,' 'E-learning,' 'Adult Literacy,' 'Child Development,' and 'Happy Schools.' With a vast network of over 4,000 Rotary Clubs and a membership of more than 1.4 lakh Rotarians spanning the nation, Rotary collaborates with both the central and state governments, alongside other stakeholders, to achieve the shared goal of realising a fully literate India, as emphasised by Mr. Shekhar Mehta.
