The launch marks a step towards expanding technology-enabled education in Bihar’s government schools. With model schools serving as key centres for improved facilities, the Vidya Saathi platform is expected to complement classroom teaching and provide students with academic resources. Officials highlighted the initiative’s focus on accessible, continuous student-oriented support across the state.
