‘1984’: George Orwell writes about the Big Brother watching
2005: ‘1984’ becomes reality in a city in India
In The Great Indian School Show (2005), Avinash Deshpande takes you through the surreal images of a school in Nagpur which is ‘controlled’ and ‘watched over’ by more than 200 CCTVs in classrooms and staffrooms. The Principal is convinced that the technology of CCTVs is the best thing to happen to education in India. Is it?
This Teacher’s Day, take a ‘look’ at what the state of the art technology can do to the state of education in India.
