To complete this work, a Technical Project Management Unit (TPMU) has been formed. For this purpose, the process of identifying an already empanelled agency in UPLC and allocating work has been initiated. After this, UPLC will coordinate and establish communication with the Basic and Secondary Education Departments to equip all schools in the state with smart classroom infrastructure.

The installation and development of smart classroom infrastructure will be carried out in different phases as per the Detailed Project Report (DPR). During this period, regular monitoring of the ongoing work and preparation of progress reports under the project will also be undertaken.
