This is really good news especially when people are running towards cities just so that their kids could get access to such services. Sometimes the sole reason to move to a city is to get access to good infrastructure and education facilities which otherwise non-existent in rural areas. If successfully implemented and full potential achieved, this would help ease the migration rush big cities like Ahmedabad and Baroda are facing.
I have to give it to Shri Narendra Modi for his leadership, vision and a will to empower a common man of Gujarat.
This is an encouraging news to develop villages in Gujarat. Next time I want to hear a news that every household in Gujrat State has been provided with piped drinking water and piped cooking gas.

Hats off to the Government of Gujarat.
The digital divide between the Urban and Rural Education may be narrowing.
The rural school children of Gujarat will definately enjoy and more confident to face the challanges in the future.
This is a welcoming initiative.
I wish all the success to the team working on it.
With all best wishes,
