IT-BHU students introduce e-learning venture

VARANASI: To help the young students of secondary and senior secondary classes in their pursuit of goals, a group of students of the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU) has come up with an e-learning venture.
"We have initiated an e-learning venture (www.padhakujoker.com). Keeping in mind the importance of high school and intermediate in shaping one's career and importance of this phase in a student's life, our utmost focus is to solve the queries and most common doubts present in the minds of secondary and senior secondary students in a comprehensive manner in turn providing them with a logical solution," said Akshay Dhar, one of the members of the group of six.
Hailing from different parts of the country, they came together to create a multi-purpose platform for young students. The platform, as conceived by the team, is designed to meet the needs of school students and adolescents vying for various professional courses. These days the educational scenario has become much more demanding and complicated. Everybody wants to be an achiever and have a good job with high salary. "In regard with that we have witnessed widespread dissatisfaction amongst students of all ages. Their demands remain unfulfilled due to methodological shortcomings. We felt a need to mentor them," Dhar told TOI.
To help the young students they designed this portal with a short, simple and effective approach to address problems. "They have the solution to all confusions, everything that the school pass outs want. Our specifically tailored information and a comprehensive and insightful research desk will serve them round the clock," said a confident Dhar.
All the six students are pursuing BTech in ceramic engineering in IT-BHU and they want their experience to be the armour of young students against all their problems. Besides Dhar, who hails from Delhi, the other members of the team are Yogesh Shukla (Delhi), Priyesh Ranjan (Bihar), Sanchit Khandelwal (Rajasthan), Pranav Kumar (Bihar), and Anuj Tejpal (Rajasthan).
"We have received an overwhelming response is a short span of time. Around 4000 students have hit the site in 45 days," he said adding that they also got words of appreciation form professionals and the venture is getting support from the institute under Malviya Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (MCIIE). In order to promote this site, they are also conducting quiz in various schools in the city. "We have conducted a quiz in seven schools with the participation of 3500 students," he said and added that other such activities like essay writing would be held in schools regularly.
