The basic aim of education through satellite is to identify hard topics in all subjects, choose subject experts to deliver live lectures on those topics, to supplement and diversify the knowledge of the students and to make a data base of quality lectures which will be provided to all the colleges.
Lectures have been delivered on various subjects of science, arts and commerce. Lectures on preparation of competitive exams, self-employment options available to the students and lectures on various employment avenues have also been delivered. Edusat is proving to be a very powerful medium for the dissemination of latest and quality education to the students.
