CBSE directs schools to use PM eVidya channel 15 for classes 9–11 learning

In order to improve student learning outcomes and support classroom instruction, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has requested that its affiliated schools actively utilize PM eVidya's CBSE Channel 15. A circular dated January 7, 2026, included the directive.

CBSE has been given Channel 15 on the DTH platform as part of the PM eVidya program, which presently offers 67 carefully chosen instructional videos. These materials are mostly intended for students in Classes 9 through 11, but they also contain information meant to improve teachers' pedagogical abilities.

The PM eVidya project, which was introduced in 2024, provides academic assistance via 200 specialized television channels.

CBSE Channel 15 provides curriculum encompassing fundamental subjects including math, science, and social science in addition to modules on experiential learning, storytelling as a teaching tool, assessment techniques, cyber safety, and the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

By ensuring that all students, regardless of socioeconomic level, have access to top-notch educational resources, the program seeks to close learning disparities, according to CBSE. Teachers can incorporate the videos into lesson plans and classroom activities, and students can learn at their own pace owing to YouTube's on-demand access and repeated broadcasts.

The Board noted that the e-videos have been developed by subject experts and adhere to national standards for educational television programming. To widen reach, all content is also available on the CBSE TV Channel on YouTube.

As stated in an earlier circular published in June 2024, school principals and heads have been directed to make sure that the necessary infrastructure is in place. Additionally, they have been urged to educate educators and learners on the use of digital content for remedial learning, enrichment, and revision.

Additionally, CBSE has invited experienced educators and academic resource persons to contribute to the creation of more high-quality educational videos by collaborating with its designated Centres of Excellence.
