The Rotary e-Learning program (RELP) is designed to bring quality education in such schools. It helps students to repeat lessons at their own pace, carry out extra studies and also give tests to hone their skills through use of technology and at an affordable cost. This is a proven Rotary program which has reversed negative trends leading to increased attendance, higher level of learning, employability and eventual empowerment of youth. The equipment with solar back-up option is a high definition LED projector with pre-loaded educational software meeting the curriculum needs from standard 1 to 10. With its wi-fi capability and a USB port, it facilitates showing additional contents on health & hygiene, value education and other topics useful for students and teachers.
Kudos to the Literacy Team of RCBW led ably by Club Director Rtn.Hemant
Joshi for having achieved the first successful launch of E-Learning with many
more to follow in the months and years to come.
