Teachers will be provided digital training in connection with the change in the curriculum of Classes I to VIII from the academic year 2018-19, Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde said Friday.
He said that the training would be broadcast on Gujarat's free Doordarshan DTH channel.
He informed reporters that broadcasting the training modules on Maharashtra's DD Sahyadri channel would have come at a cost whereas the Gujarat government, which has 16 educational channels, had offered to beam it free on the "Vande Gujarat" channel.
He added that the training would be in Marathi.
Responding to criticism from the opposition on using a channel from Gujarat, Tawde said, "We haven't used the services of any channel from Pakistan."
