To avoid any academic loss of students during these ongoing coronavirus crisis, the Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad has launched three television channels on Jio TV platform and a radio Channel on Jio Saavan. These channels have been launched to help impart educational lessons to students who will be appearing for the Maharashtra 10th Board exam and Maharashtra 12th Board exam next year.  The department opted to partner with private platforms after its proposal to the Union government for the state’s own educational channel met with an inordinate delay.

Six hours of educational content will be broadcast on these three channels. For the rest of the 18 hours, the content will be repeat telecast. The schedule of the programmes can be checked by the students by visiting this website i.e. maa.ac.in, the department said in a statement.

The department also said that it is planning to launch more television channels for students in Maharashtra Class 10th Board in  Urdu medium. Along with this, the Board is also planning to launch channels for Class VIII and IX students of Marathi, English and Urdu medium schools. Further channels will also be launched for students belonging to other classes.

Around 4.3 crore Jio phone owners will be able to benefit from the iniative, said Gaikwad, adding that the students will be able to view all shows broadcast during a particular week.

In the next few days, all Jio SIM card holders will also receive class-wise and medium-wise e-books through Jio chat. The department has requested mobile operators Airtel and Vodafone to broadcast the e-content on the television apps run by them.

The radio channel, on the other hand, will broadcast audio books for Class VIII to X. The students will have to bear the cost for the data packs, the department said.
