Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni said that even though the educational institutions are closed due to corona, online and television teaching is on. However, due to lack of adequate digital devices, it was not possible to reach all the students.

Walton's multi-crore scholarship and interest-free installment facility will make digital devices easily available, she said.

Engineer Golam Murshed said the project was launched to ensure that not a single student is deprived due to lack of digital devices. We want everyone to be enlightened in the light of education.
