News: Recently, the Union Minister for Education launched the DTH 24×7 Channel No. 31, as a part of PM e-Vidya initiative, to provide education through Indian Sign Language for students who have hearing disabilities.
About PM e-Vidya
The scheme was launched in May 2020, as part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan, by the Ministry of Education.
It aims to promote inclusive, accessible and high-quality education through digital platforms to minimise learning loss, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The scheme aligns with the vision of the National Economic Policy (NEP) 2020, aiming to provide equitable and quality education throughout the country.
The scheme utilises technology to ensure education is accessible to all students, thereby bridging the digital divide for learners across the country.
