RGPEEE Network:

Receive Only Terminal (ROT) Network

The pilot phase of the project was initiated targeting the least developed and most backward district Sidhi of Madhya Pradesh and four other adjoining districts of other states namely Vaishali of Bihar, Korea of Chhattisgarh and Sonbhadra of U.P. 700 Receive Only Terminals (RoTs) were provided to Sidhi and 50 each to the rest. Now the network has been expanded to four more Hindi speaking states viz. Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Rajasthan, four more districts of Madhya Pradesh as well as some new blocks of Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Soon besides the existing one-way interacting facility (Receive Only Terminal), both way audio-video interaction facility (Satellite Interactive Terminals) will be available for the purpose of teachers’ training, feedback and on-line interaction purposes. Realizing the encouraging outcome of the project in its two years life span, it is decided to enhance the network providing more receiving ends to the schools of states under the network.
