Sub:Availing of broad-band connectivity by schools.

Dear Principal,

As you are aware, Internet has emerged as the fastest medium of communication of the day. Therefore, to take the benefits of advancement of technologies to its member institutions, CBSE has been sending all its circulars through e-mail, and also updates its website regularly with the current information about the activities of the Board. Further the Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India has recently launched an Education Portal on the internet to facilitate the students and teachers community in the country. The website could be accessed at url: (1) (2) (3) This portal will prove immensely useful to the students, particularly those who are at senior secondary level. The education portal of MHRD can be easily accessed through broad-band connectivity.

In view of the immense potential of internet as a fastest medium of communication and also as a huge treasure of information, it is highly desirable that all the CBSE affiliated schools acquire broad-band connectivity either from MTNL/BSNL or from Private Service Providers. The broad-band connectivity has the feature of ‘Internet always on’. Also it is cost effective as well as it has the facility to use phone-line and internet simultaneously, which is not available on normal dial up connectivity.

In order to make use of the potential of advanced communication facilities and also to access to the treasure of information, it is requested that all the schools affiliated with CBSE may acquire broad-band connectivity on priority. A list of locations where broad-band connectivity has already been made available by BSNL has been put up in the CBSE website. The schools which have acquired broad-band connectivity or acquiring broad-band connectivity in near future may send this information to the Board alongwith their e-mail addresses and website addresses through e-mail to update the CBSE schools directory for facilitating internet users to access schools website through CBSE site also.

Your positive response will go a long way in sharing education resources efficiently.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(VINEET JOSHI)
