Every year, thousands of students get graduated from various colleges, but they lack soft-skills. They are unable to cope up with Communication, reasoning, and leadership skills. So, the solution for this is E3 Programme, that offers a framework of values. Students can gain experience and translate their life by inculcating these valuable skills.
E3 Programme details in brief
The State-run KITE (Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education) has launched a unique programme to enhance and enrich the English language proficiency. In this process, it made use of all the hi-tech advanced lab facilities schools.
This exciting project is named as E-cube(E3) which signifies – Enjoy, Enrich and Enhance.
3 modules in E3
E3 Programme has mainly 3 modules
Samagra e-library: A repository of International books in a digital format. The books can be accessible in audio and video formats in 4 different levels.
There are already 200 multi-coloured storybooks uploaded into this library.

They can also enrich their skills in pronunciation, grammar and Vocabulary. Through mentor teacher support, students can easily work in an e-language lab. The Kite has already customized this engine by using free software.
The Third component is e-broadcast, that incorporates multi-media programmes. This aids learners to learn in academic and conversational contexts interactively. This will be screened and telecast through KITE Victers channel.
