West Bengal government will stop the help of ₹ 10 thousand given to class 11 and 12 students for purchasing mobile phones. Chief Minister Shubhendu Adhikari announced this on Saturday. This one-time assistance was given under the ‘Taruner Swapno’ scheme of the previous Trinamool Congress (TMC) government. The official said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government will spend more money on providing modern educational infrastructure for the education of students. He said clearly, “But we will not give mobile phones.” In the year 2025, the Bengal government had given Rs 1500 crore to 15 lakh students under this scheme. Hinted at banning mobile phones in schools: The officer had hinted at banning mobile phones in schools during the Teacher’s Day program last week. He had said this giving the example of Gujarat. Adhikari had then said, “Mobile phones have a very negative impact on school children. This will be a difficult decision and may cost me votes.” He had said, “In Gujarat, mobile phones are banned for students up to class 12. Even after their parents sleep, students remain awake and look at mobile phones.” Free Smartphone Scheme in Many States Many states like Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim are providing financial help to students to buy free smartphone, tablet or laptop. ‘Swami Vivekananda Youth Empowerment Scheme’ in UP and Free Gadget Scheme in Tamil Nadu are examples of this. These schemes have provided great help to poor students in online studies, preparation for competitive exams and learning digital skills. This has reduced the digital divide among students, although challenges such as poor internet connectivity and lack of digital training have also been observed. ———————————– Also read this news… Subhendu Adhikari took out the Saffron Samman Yatra near Jadavpur University: Said- We will uproot those who raised slogans of ‘Kashmir wants independence’.
