After a two-week trial, fresh classes will be aired through the KITE Victers channel and online platforms from Monday as part of the State government’s ‘First Bell’ online programme for school students.
The trial of the classes was being telecast from June 1. Beginning Monday, online classes on new subjects will be telecast as per the schedule already published — from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
There has been a tremendous response from students and parents to the classes aired from June 1 to 12. Twenty-seven TB (terabyte) of data was downloaded on a single day through the Victers website.
The subscriber base of the YouTube Victers channel (YouTube.com/itsvicters) reached nearly 10 lakh while over 16.5 lakh downloads of the Victers mobile app were recorded from the Google Play Store.

For specific classes, the viewership exceeded 40 lakh. Classes were also viewed by hundreds of people in West Asia, America, and Europe. “Based on the feedback of the initial classes, we have incorporated facilities such as displaying English words during a class, especially for the benefit of those studying in English medium, and descriptions in Malayalam in language classes,” K. Anvar Sadath, Chief Executive Officer, Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), said.
All classes can be viewed in real time from the Facebook page of KITE Victers (facebook.com/ victerseduchannel) and later through the YouTube channel (YouTube.com/itsvicters).
