Govt, Pvt schools in U.P. gear up for live streaming of Chandrayaan-3 Landing:-
Principals with the help of gram pradhans will make necessary arrangements for live streaming of soft landing of ISRO’s mission Chandrayaan-3 for students, said DG, school education, Vijay Kiran Anand. As the landing of ISRO’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 nears, teachers in the basic education department gear up to make preparations for live streaming of the monumental occasion for students in schools on Wednesday (August 23) evening as per the state government order.
“Principals with the help of gram pradhans will make necessary arrangements in the schools for live streaming of soft landing of ISRO’s mission Chandrayaan-3 for students. They had done live streaming at the time of the launch last month and will do the same at the time of its soft landing,” said director general, school education, U.P., Vijay Kiran Anand.
When asked about what students will do once the schools get over at 2 pm, Anand said, “Most students live in close proximity to schools. Children will go back home and will return around 5 pm to watch the event. Teachers, however, will stay back after the schools get over and make all necessary arrangements.”
Not just government schools, a number of private schools have also made arrangements for live streaming of the lunar mission. GD Goenka Public School, Lucknow, is organising “India’s Back to the Moon”.
This event will feature a live telecast of Chandrayaan-3 landing, captivating talks by astronomers’ and astrophysicists’ interactive sessions to engage the audience in meaningful discussions about space exploration’s impact on the nation’s progress.
“On this momentous occasion, students from more than 20 schools are going to join us to see the live telecast, and a gathering of 800-1000 people, including school principals, teachers, and parents, is expected. Division Commissioner Roshan Jacob, district magistrate Suryapal Gangwar, and district inspector of schools, Lucknow, Rakesh Kumar have given their consent to be present in the event,” said Sarvesh Goel, chairman, of GD Goenka Public School Lucknow.
St Joseph School, Sitapur Road and Ruchi Khand branch will also witness the landing of Chandrayaan-3. “India’s Chandrayaan-3 moon landing is a momentous occasion which will not only fuel curiosity but also ignite a passion for exploration in the minds of the youth. This will instil a deep sense of pride and unity as we collectively celebrate the power of Indian science and technology. In this sequence, all the DIET principals and BSAs have been directed to hold special meetings in schools and educational institutions from 5.15pm to 6.15 pm and make arrangements for a live telecast,” an said additional state project director, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Madhusudan H.
