Innovative Education is a great step towards use of information and communication technology (ICT) tools which had a significant impact on all walks of life, including the education sector. For instance, the combination of video, animation, audio, graphics, and text resources provides enhanced facilities for educators.Project Sharada is one such project which has used this combination. Started in September 2005, Sharada is an initiative undertaken by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The aim of the project is to improve the standard of primary education with the help of modern techniques.
There are lot of advantages of using ICT in education which consists of application of multimedia in education gives students the ability to learn at their own pace, irrespective of the capability, potential, attitude, and interest of the teacher. It is important to state that technology cannot replace the teacher, it can however mimic the best teachers for students at large.The other aspect of using ICT is the use of visual learning as it is the easiest way of imparting education to young minds. For instance, if a teacher wants to explain a solar eclipse, it can be rendered visually in the classroom on a PC.
MCD followed a detailed tendering process spread over a year. With the help of its consultant, ICICI Infotech, it decided on the above-mentioned partners. Under the public-private initiative, the two partners would set up the necessary infrastructure and impart computer education to students through its trained teachers for the next five years.MCS would impart computer education in Group A and C schools and NICT would do so in Group B and D. Accordingly MCS would cover 703 schools and the NICT would cover 487 schools.MCD has also tied up with the Rajya Siksha Kendra, formally known as the Rajiv Gandhi Siksha Mission, Bhopal, to provide ‘content and syllabus’ of the computer education to students in all subjects including mathematics, social sciences and science.
