Everybody is increasingly concerned with the need to make his
society competitive in the rapidly evolving economy. We are
moving very fast towards new economy, new tools and new rules.
Knowledge and Knowledge Management capability is considered as
an asset to an individual, and a tangible wealth to a society
vis-à-vis the nation.
Application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
in ushering Knowledge is critical and needed by policy makers,
business executives, academia and students- even by ordinary
citizens. With ICTs, they can leap forth to higher levels of
social, economic and political development through application
of Knowledge.
The student population is growing by leaps and bounds and so are
the schools and colleges. However, the quality faculties,

Utilizing Internet and e-Learning tools, the gap could be
minimized by extending Virtual Coaching facilities to
schools in Tripura. Using internet and e-Learning delivery
tools, such coaching could be provided on real-time,
interactive as well as on-demand basis. |

teaching staff, etc. have not grown proportionally. The
institutions suffer from a dearth of efficient teachers and
trainers at all levels. In a few years time, India will have
more than 50% of her population in the age group of 25-30 years.
Challenging task is how to equip them with Knowledge in the
field of agriculture, manufacturing industry, energy,
bio-technology, science and so on.
A demand-driven systematic Knowledge delivery channel to
students at the grass root level is required to be put in place
on priority basis. Knowledge infusion is to take place
relentlessly, from anywhere and any time as well as in a cost
effective manner.
Ensuring admission of large number of students into various
Institutes of excellence would be the key factor to transform
the society. Not that the students from Tripura do not do well
in various competitive examinations in the national and
international levels; but it is only few and far between. One of
the reasons behind is poor coaching facilities in the state.
Students from rural areas of Tripura are more deprived and are
going to be wider day by day, if not addressed effectively.
Students of Tripura can do much better, if enabling facilities
are made available to them. With the availability of ICT tools,
world class virtual coaching facilities for fine tuning students
for various entrance examinations could be beamed to any school
in any remote corner. This is required so that students from the
state can secure admission to various world class Institutes in
India and across the globe to acquire Knowledge to transform the
society.
They can do better in All India Engineering & Pre Medical
Entrance Examinations, NDA and various other competitive
examinations, if such coaching facilities are made available in
the state through virtual mode. Various private Educational/
Coaching Institutes are equipped with faculties comprising of
professionals and retired professors from IITs / eminent
Institutions across India. Success rate of such coaching
institutes are found to be very high in main land cities.
