AGARTALA: All
government colleges and higher education institutions in
Tripura are set to get
free Wi-Fi access, education minister Ratan Lal Nath said.
The higher education department has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Reliance Jio Infocom Limited to provide
Wi-Fi facilities across campuses of all government institutes. The MoU was signed in accordance with HRD ministry guidelines.
The ministry will also select a few colleges in Tripura where skill development labs will be set up.
"This will help students study beyond what is taught in class ... Access to some sites, including social media sites, will be limited," Nath said.
