Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster, and Kerala’s ViCTERS (Virtual Class Technology on Edusat for Rural Schools) TV have signed an agreement to telecast educational programmes for school children in the state. Through this partnership, educational television programmes from Deutsche Welle will be beamed on ViCTERS, the educational television channel of the Kerala Education Department. This agreement will allow schools and students in Kerala to access more than 200 hours of Deutsche Welle’s educational television programmes, including the popular educational programme in Germany, Mouse TV, as well as other documentaries and videos covering science, medicine, waste management, workplace safety, water, world cultures and the animal kingdom. The agreement also allows ViCTERS to dub the programmes in Malayalam, the local language of Kerala. ViCTERS was inaugurated in 2005. It is distributed by local cable operators and reaches up to 80 percent of household in the state, which has one of the highest literacy rates in India.
