The Uttarakhand government announced that tablets will be handed over to Class 10 and 12 students in government schools through the Direct Benefit Transfer scheme.
The state government of Uttarakhand has approved a scheme to supply digital tablets to students studying in Class 10 and Class 12 in government‑run schools. The distribution will be executed through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism, ensuring that funds reach the intended beneficiaries directly.
According to the announcement, the tablets are intended to support digital learning, exam preparation and access to online educational resources. By leveraging DBT, the administration aims to reduce intermediaries and streamline the delivery process.
The initiative was reported by ET Education, which highlighted the move as part of Uttarakhand's broader effort to modernise its school education infrastructure and bridge the digital divide in rural and remote areas.
No specific figures regarding the number of tablets or the budget allocation have been disclosed at this stage. The rollout is expected to begin later this year, pending final logistical arrangements.
Stakeholders, including school principals and teachers, have been advised to coordinate with the state education department to facilitate smooth distribution once the program is operational.
