# The ICT text book and hand book, along with the data sets and digital resources required for transaction, will be made available on the TSROER portal. An off-line copy of the same will be provided to each school. The school can access the on-line TSROER version (which will include the latest updates as well) or the off-line version through its school server. The off-line school server version will be periodically (at least once a year) refreshed to bring it in synchronous state with TSROER. This could be done incrementally, to reduce the effort.

# In addition, each student must have a copy of the student text book.  Each teacher must have a copy of the student text book and teacher hand book. In case where the ICT Lab is not available, some of the activities in the text book could be transacted, this could be part of the contingency plan for program implementation.

# One option is for the School Head Master to designate a suitable teacher (who is reasonably comfortable using ICT and is inclined to take on the responsibility) as the SITC, a second option is for the DSE to designate teacher of a particular subject as the SITC. The SITC role could be periodically (once in 2-3 years) rotated amongst the staff.

The SITC role could be periodically (once in 2-3 years) rotated amongst the staff. At the same time, the ICT lab is a school infrastructure, so the school staff has a shared responsibility in its upkeep.  

#Similarly, 1-5 students from each class could be designated as Student IT co-ordinators (SITC), who will help the TITC in managing the lab, facilitating repair of the equipment as required.
