The second phase of training has been launched with a series of coaching sessions in Lucknow delivered by Swaraaj Chauhan and Anand Pradhan of the IIMC.

The aim of these sessions is to tackle any unforeseen problems with iLearn and to consolidate the learning points made during the first round of training.

A total of 30 Lucknow-based journalists attended the coaching sessions and the majority of these have now completed their first online courses.

New coaching sessions are planned for Chennai and Kolkata in May, and for Bangalore at the end of June.  These will be followed by a coaching session in Kolkata in September and sessions in Lucknow and Chennai in October.  The cycle will be completed by three coaching sessions in Kolkata, Bangalore and Delhi in November and a session in Bangalore at the beginning of December.
