New Delhi: The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) is going to launch the "world's biggest project" for teacher training on August 22 to train over 42 lakh teachers across the country, an official said on Saturday.
Ray said around 19,000 teacher-training institutes across the country were mapped and put on Google Earth. "Users can go online not only to see the geographical location of these institutes around the country, but also to check their report cards and give their feedback," she added.
Yaduvendra Mathur, Special Secretary, NITI Aayog, was also present on the occasion.
"Teachers are the pillars of the society, but it is important to upgrade their skills and ensure that they are trained in the best way. This is only possible in collaboration with teacher education institutions, which play a key role in their actual transformation," he said.
