CHENNAI: Continuing with its blitzkrieg of populist schemes, the AIADMK government, which faces assembly polls in the next three months, on Sunday announced that it will offer 2GB free data per day to more than nine lakh college students in the state from January to April 2021 to help them take part in online classes.
All colleges in Tamil Nadu have been conducting online classes in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Though physical classes were being offered to final-year UG and PG students, a majority of them still prefer to study through online classes. More than nine lakh students studying in government and aided arts and science, polytechnic, and engineering colleges and students receiving scholarships in private colleges will get free 2 GB data every day for online classes from January to April 2021, chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami said in a statement.
