Objective of this initiative
This initiative has been taken by the AAP government keeping in mind the reason that the school teachers state for being able to devote lesser time to teaching.

At the same time using internet further knowledge can also be gained, which can be used in teaching. Apart from this special training session for teachers will also be conducted for the teachers.
