Margao: Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has urged the government to make optimum use of Intranet facility which will be a turning point for online and distance education in Goa s
“The government now needs to ensure that hassle free Network connection is made available to every student and teacher across the State. I am disturbed by the reports of students climbing hills and walking three to four kilometres in some villages in search of Network connection to attend online classes.” said Digambar Kamat.
He said, “I had categorically emphasised in my memorandum to the Governor about the fear and anxiety in the minds of the teachers of getting infected with Corona Virus after attending schools and Educational Institutions. I had also requested the Hon’ble Governor to advise the government to make optimum use of Intranet facility in the State of Goa.”
The Intranet facility has already reached almost all the Talukas and the Panchayats in Goa with laying of underground Optic Fibre Cables. The government needs to take the local Cable operators into confidence and come out with a plan which will help the said facility to reach every household in Goa.
