Government Schools in Mangalore to Get These Facilities Under Smart City Project

November 24: 17 government schools in the city will get a facelift under the Smart City Mission. This project will strengthen civil infrastructure works as well as modern IT tools of teaching, learning and communication in the schools. These include laying of floor tiles, plastering and painting of walls, upgrading of toilets, repair of roofs and the like. In addition, badminton and kabaddi courts will be created wherever required.
Civil works at an estimated cost of ₹11 crore are now being undertaken in those schools, some of which are in Pandeshwar, Neereshwalya, Hoigebazar and Bolara, said Mohammed Nazir, Managing Director, Mangaluru Smart City Ltd (MSCL).
Once these works are over, the company will invest ₹5 crore for providing Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) tools. The proposal includes setting up of computer labs, providing teaching materials, netbooks, and an all-in-one interactive tool which can be used for playing videos for demonstration purpose. It can also be used as a projector.
