The government of Odisha is making substantial efforts to enhance digital access in higher education by providing free Wi-Fi across state-run universities.
In a world increasingly reliant on digital resources and online study materials, this initiative aims to facilitate students' access to educational content. Special Secretary of the Higher Education Department in Odisha, Mr. Ramakanta Nayak, has launched the project by requesting detailed cost estimates from registrars at state-run universities for implementing Wi-Fi facilities on their campuses.
While some universities in Odisha, such as Utkal University and Rama Devi Women's University, already offer free Wi-Fi services, the new plan is an ambitious endeavor to extend this valuable resource to all state-run universities. The government's decision to embark on this initiative fulfills a promise made in the election manifesto of the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) during the 2019 assembly and general elections. The manifesto committed to providing free Wi-Fi and 1GB of data for students in all colleges and universities.
The expansion of Wi-Fi access in educational institutions is designed to create a more connected and digitally empowered learning environment. This move not only improves educational access but also enhances the overall quality of education for students throughout the state.
By providing free Wi-Fi access, the government aims to address the evolving needs of education in the digital age, ensuring that students have the tools required for comprehensive and modern learning. As the world increasingly transitions to online resources and e-books, this endeavor positions Odisha as a forward-looking state dedicated to advancing education and digital literacy. It represents a significant stride in providing equitable access to quality education for students across the state.
