(ECCE) guidelines by ConveGenius. This digital set up comprises of smart TV and tablets with preloaded educational software to the Anganwadis.
Minister for Women and Child Development Vishwajit Rane said that introducing e-learning to Anganwadi children has always been a dream for me which I am very happy to say, has been accomplished with the help of Siemens and ConveGenius.
“Almost 90 per cent of a child’s brain is developed in the first six years, and with the state-of-the-art lesson plans, tech-enabled classrooms, and curated syllabus, our Anganwadi children will be prepared for first grade before they enter mainstream school,” he said.
Rane said that online education will help children to improve their education activities and get familiar with the technology.
