Even after all these efforts of the government, opposition parties have been leveling allegations. “They say that children are moving to the wrong track with the tabs and also blaming the SC, ST, BC, and Minority poor children. Children of rich people can have tabs and laptops, besides smartphones but for not poor people. Your children and grandchildren can study in English medium but not poor people. They allege that the Telugu language will vanish if the poor people will study in English medium,” CM Jagan alleged.

Don’t worry about the usage of tabs. We have already digitalized the sixth standard and above in every school. We are arranging Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs). We have arranged 30,213 IFPs in classrooms. Another 31,000 IFPs will be arranged soon with SD cards and Android boxes with Biju’s content. We are bringing Artificial Intelligence also. An app was also downloaded in tabs to learn foreign languages,” CM Jagan said.
