Today, HRD
Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank tweeted about MHRD’s 'Virtual Lab'
initiative. The initiative has been launched under the National Mission on
Education through ICT. Virtual labs will allow students to conduct experiment
and improve their experiment skills virtually, without the need of physical
lab.
“Experiment
with experiments from the comfort of your home with 'Virtual Labs'. As the name
suggests, it offers you scientific tools to enhance your experimental skills
even without a physical laboratory setup. Interesting?” tweeted Dr. Ramesh
Pokhriyal Nishank (@DrRPNishank).
This
platform will allow students to access the labs remotely from the comfort of
their homes. Labs are available from various disciplines of Science and
Engineering. These labs will cater to the needs of the students of all levels
whether they be higher education - undergraduate, postgraduate, or research.
The project is
a collaborative effort of 12 participating institutes including 7 IITs (IIT
Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, and
IIT Madras).
