<span style="color: #222222;">The Ramkrishna Mission Centres of Sohra and Shillong in a joint venture successfully demonstrated the technological capability of conducting online classes in a no-internet zone by using intra-net. Online academic classes of HIKAI (Hybrid Interactive Knowledge Assimilation Initiative) from classes 1 to 12 were inaugurated today at Ramakrishna Mission Secondary School, Sohbar of East Khasi Hills district.<br />'' <br />'' With internet connectivity a problem for rural masses, this unique initiative will help students in their online learning, said Swami Anuragananda. He said that in the last three weeks, the Ramakrishna Mission launched the online classes for any student studying under the Meghalaya Board of Secondary Education (MBOSE). The aim is to provide these services to the remotest corner in Meghalaya where internet availability is a major issue.<br />'' <br />'' Moreover, these areas suffer from a lack of quality teachers. So the "HIKAI" programme bridges the gap between rural and urban children through technology, he added.<br />'' <br />''<br />''So far, students from 55 different schools including the RKM schools, under MBOSE have enrolled for the free online classes. Some of the features of this online learning programme consist of pre-recorded lectures, quizzes, one-to-one interaction besides assignments.</span><br />
