The Directorate of School Education has notified for the information of all concerned that the Department of School Education would commence telecast of Video lessons on important subjects in classes 8,9,10 and 12 through Doordarshan, Kohima from 1st May 2020 for compensating the loss of instructional days caused due to the ongoing Lockdown. The lessons will also be broadcasted through All India Radio (AIR) from 2nd May 2020.

All the DEOs/Sr. SDEOs/SDEOs have been directed to disseminate this notification to all School Heads under their jurisdiction with instructions to pass on the information to all Parents & Students of respective schools.

As ensuring maximum coverage for the Doordarshan (DD) satellite telecast and AIR broadcast across the State including the remote areas is very much essential for achieving the objectives of the programme, the aforesaid officials have been directed to coordinate with the District Administration so as to make necessary arrangements for students who do not have facilities to access the DD satellite telecast at home to view/listen the broadcast at a common place like Village Hall, School Auditorium etc.

The broadcast schedule is made in such a way that only two classes will be having the lessons on a particular day, so that children will not group up in large numbers in Schools/Village Council halls where the telecasting is viewed.
