The letter stated, as the mode of deliberation will be purely virtual, a smart classroom with an interactive panel/ a smart TV is a primary requirement at the HSS level. Many higher secondary schools have received assistance for smart classes under CM-SA from the Planning and Coordination department.
In case any higher secondary school has not received funds, they are allowed to utilise available funds from the SAMS account/ HSS development fund as per the existing Finance department guidelines, the letter said.
