Varsha Gajkwad, the School Education Minister of Maharashtra, has launched three television channels on Jio TV platform and a radio channel on Jio Saavan. These channels will provide educational lessons to students who will take the Maharashtra Board examinations next year. This step has been taken with a view to avoiding academic loss during the pandemic.

For Maharashtra HSC Board Science stream, a channel called ‘Gyanganga’ has been launched. For Maharashtra SSC Board, two dedicated channels in English and Marathi have been launched. The radio channel that has been launched is called ‘Aamhi Ingraji Shikto (We Learn English)’.

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra SSC results will be released by 15 July.

Six hours of content will be broadcast on these channels. For the remaining 18 hours, the content will be repeated. Students can check the schedule of the programmes here.

The department is planning to launch more channels for Maharashtra Board class 10 students in Urdu. It will also create channels for class 8 and class 9 students belonging to Marathi, English and Urdu medium schools. Channels will also be launched for students from other classes.

Around 43 million Jio phone users will benefit from the initiative. In the next few days, Jio SIM holders will receive e-books according to class and medium via Jio chat.

The radio channel will broadcast audiobooks for classes 8 to 10. The students will have to bear the cost of the data packs.
