Jaipur: Fed up of your child logging into Facebook at the cost of studies? The Rajasthan government has hit upon a remedy – a social networking site that will also help brush up a youngster’s academic knowledge.

“The idea is to utilise the popularity of social networking sites among students. Most of them spend a lot of time on such websites every day,” a senior official of the state’s information technology department, which is developing the portal, told IANS.
