Eklavya is the technology channel dedicated to technical education and shall run programmes generated at different IITs. This channel marks the beginning of a new era in the dissemination of technical education in the country.
The channel was inaugurated by Prof. Murli Manohar Joshi, Honourable Minister, HRD, S&T and Ocean Development on 26th January, 2003. This is a joint initiative of IIT’s and IGNOU and is catalyzed by Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The vision is to share the knowledge and expertise with all and to bring about a true socialism in engineering education cutting across all boundaries. Yes, we want to come close to you, particularly the students pursuing the degrees in various disciplines in the area of technology and engineering.
EKLAVYA epitomizes the true spirit of learning and dedication, so irrespective of wherever you are, you will be able to share the resources available at IITs. And that too, without any Guru Dakshina because it is a free-to-air channel. Your motivation and enthusiasm are the only pre-requisites. It being a totally digital transmission, you will receive crystal clear ../images.
what does this channel broadcast?
The channel shall be bringing to you the actual IIT classrooms virtually at your door steps. The channel is designed to carry video courses in different disciplines generated at various IITs on weekdays and special interest programmes on Sundays. Currently, eight complete courses are being run in parallel, contributed by IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras and are repeated in the same sequence without a break. Courses from other IITs shall also be made available in future. It started as a 16 hours-a-day affair. From 1st October 2003, it is now a 24 hours Channel..
