With the onset of the pandemic, things have gotten increasingly digital. Worldwide, businesses and institutions have taken their usual state of affairs on cloud storage, and have realized that business models and school curriculums can work digitally as well if given the right set of resources.

The Uttar Pradesh government, paying heed to this need for rampant digitization, is going to launch the free tablet scheme 2020-21.

Students in the state of Uttar Pradesh can now apply for the scheme and get laptops and tablets which will enable them to log in to their classes and continue their academics in a seamless fashion.

Agenda of the UP Free Tablet Yojana

In order for children to carry on with their studies and elevate their financial status, completing their academics in a timely manner is of utmost importance. But with the pandemic setting in, schools all around the world had to remain shut which has affected the studies of those who could not hop on to the e-learning bandwagon.

There are several families in Uttar Pradesh, who are victims of the wave of unemployment that has swept the nation. For these families, making ends meet itself stands to be a major challenge. To help these children get access to their schools so they can finally get around their studies, the Uttar Pradesh government has started the scheme which will offer free laptops and tablets to children from poor families.
