Empowering with Technology

The concept of empowerment of the rural schools is based on a value proposition which consists of developing infrastructure, digitized content and providing training to faculties for enhanced delivery. The digitized content will cover the key concepts and prescribed syllabus that will be loaded in the local server. The current teaching methodology through lecture centric mode is ill equipped to augment learning and hence reduces the overall interest of the student . COPPATARS will intervene by providing better learning environment and experience to students, provide opportunities for them to expand their knowledge and understanding of the subject taught.
