India vs Sri Lanka: ICC bans TV channels from covering World Cup final

NEW DELHI: A day before the World Cup final clash between India and Sri Lanka , the International Cricket Council (ICC) renewed the ban on Indian television news channels from covering the match at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.

ICC on Friday cancelled the accreditation for all Indian news channels from being allowed inside the stadium.

ICC's cancellation came despite the intervention from the Information & Broadcast Ministry.

Information and broadcasting minister Ambika Soni had also taken up the issue with agriculture minister and ICC president Sharad Pawar after the Cabinet meeting on Thursday.

TV channels were permitted to cover the India-Pakistan World Cup semifinals after ICC lifted the ban on accredited journalists from the news channels for a day, following intervention by Soni. She had written a letter to Pawar requesting him to restore the status-quo and allow the electronic media to report on the event as was the case earlier.

Kerala's ICT textbook to teach audio, video technology

Thiruvananthapuram: The text book on information and communication technology (ICT) for Kerala's class-nice school students will help them learn audio recording and video editing, an official said on Monday.

The text book, developed by IT@School Project, will be available from the next academic year beginning in a few months' time.

Apart from Malayalam, the textbook will also be made available in English, Tamil and Kannada languages, said K. Anvar Sadath, executive director of IT@School Project.

The union ministry of human resource development and several other states have shown interest in the ICT-enabled education system enabled inKerala.

The IT@School Project is the technology arm of the state education department. It aims to empower students by providing ICT-enabled education from the grass root level.

Sadath said the new ICT text book includes topics on several free software packages such as Audacity, WinFF, which teach students to re-record a poem as needed, re-edit portions if necessary and even give a new background music to selected portions.

"The textbook also teaches how to use handicams available at schools and also ways to create an educational documentary using the videos," said Sadath.

Last year class-eight students were provided with an ICT text book.

"The new textbook for class-nine is designed completely in tune with the national curriculum framework. With a text book planned for class-10 also next year, the shift to ICT enabled education in the state's high schools will be complete," added Sadath.
