India's first Virtual Reality Classroom
Honorable Education Minister Shri Bhupendrasinh
Chudasama inaugurated India's first Virtual
Reality Classroom FotonVR
There are only two Sainik Schools for girls in
all over India. One of these is situated in
Kherva named Shrimati M.G. Patel Sainik School
for Girls. The School has set up India's first
interactive virtual reality based education
classroom. This Virtual Reality Classroom was
unveiled by Education Minister Shri
Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, Director of Technical
Education Smt. Avantika Singh and President of
Ganpat University Mr. Ganpatbhai Patel. Virtual
reality is a 3D and 360-degree technology in
which a child can take a virtual tour of
different learning places, and different
atmosphere. This is the first school to use
virtual reality in education.
On this occasion, the Education Minister has told
that using this technology, Government's
principle of Learn with Fun is also fulfilled.
Mr. Ganpatbhai Patel said that how important it
is to learn and understand instead of cramming
the subject like science, this technology
increase the interest and deep understanding of
science in the student. This technology has been
established by Gujarat's award-winning education
startup Kachhua Education Services LLP. The
start-up founder Mr. Mayur Patel and Mr. Vijay
Kumar were present on this occasion and
2
received positive feedback of students and
teachers. Kachhua aims to provide this service to
the various schools across India with its brand
name FotonVR. On the first day of the VR
classroom, students took the privilege of moving
inside the animal cell and understood different
organelles and their functions of the animal
cell. Education Minister Shri Bhupendrasinh
Chudasama and Director of Technical Education
Smt. Avantika Singh also tried their hand on VR
and entered into the leaf and saw the process of
photosynthesis. After seeing all this, they said
that this technology is a unique concept for the
education world. He said that he knew that leaf
is Kitchen of any plant but did not know what
happens inside. He wished he has full faith that
this technology will play an important role in
the development of the education system in the
future.
Founder of the FotonVR Mr. Vijay Kumar said in a
developed country this technology has been used
for fun from a couple of years but we want it to
be used in India as an educational gaming tool.
Using fotonVR, teachers can provide deep level
education to children. Virtual Reality is
learning by doing, so it is an active way of
learning. Albert Einstein truly said "Imagination
is more important than knowledge", and VR
technology develops childrens imagination to
make this sentence true. For more info. Visit
