The Nagaland Government is all set to launch Virtual Labs in all government colleges across the state by October 2024, making it the first state in India to implement such an initiative.

Notably, the demonstration was attended by Minister Temjen Imna Along along with senior secretaries from the department, and representatives from ITI Limited, emphasizing the government’s commitment to improving education outcomes through digital innovation.
Virtual Labs offer ‘Science in your pocket’, a concept that provides students with easy access to scientific experiments. This initiative is aimed at fostering a scientific mindset among the students necessary in today’s technology-driven world. By introducing ‘Virtual Labs’ the Nagaland government hopes to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thereby inculcating a deeper understanding of science among students.

By integrating Virtual Labs into the curriculum, Nagaland is taking a significant step towards achieving these goals, fostering a new generation of scientifically literate individuals well-equipped for the challenges of future.
