Liked the Tawang post a lot. Just as an aside, apparently only 38 percent of the kids there get to clear their 10th grade due to scarcity of good teaching facilities. The company where I work in at Mumbai, was doing a proof of concept in providing broadband services over satellite. We selected Tawang, since the whole idea was to reach remote areas where fibre cannot reach and there is bandwidth scarcity. The local cable operator at Tawang was contacted. For the 10th exams which were to be held in March 23, we tied up with a movie theatre in Tawang (during the day there are no movie shows) got students to the movie theatre. We tied up with an online education company in Mumbai and through the BoS we provided realtime interactive classes from Mumbai to Tawang through BoS. The kids were thrilled and so were the local politicians who made the best of it.
Please thank Ashvini for his post on their trip to Tawang. I believe Arunachal Pradesh is full of natural beauty as he has described. I have been to Ladakh and if Tawang is similar, it is absolutely worth visiting.

Wow! What a great connection with Tawang. Thank you for sharing your experience Amar.
Dear Prasanna
