Going Beyond Classrooms

Digitalization has emerged as a modern-day catalyst in integrating society to the growth bandwagon. With India's geographical vastness and volume of outreach, the implementation of 'Digital India' initiative has effectively connected the remotest of the regions through the electronic service delivery system (e-governance) resulting in accountability, and transparency for every citizen across various sectors.

Education is the first early investment for child development, playing a pivotal role in the life of an individual, thereby becoming a building-block of one's personality. It also sets forth the solid foundations of a knowledge-driven nation. Consistently for a young country like India that has witnessed a paradigm shift in the nation's demographic dividend in recent years, the need for greater accessibility to a reliable education system magnifies.

How we learn and what we learn

As India is gearing up with the digital transformation, there arises a pressure to establish education and elearning solutions as a priority for the policymakers to recognize its significant role in citizen's transformation and sustainable growth of the country. Understanding the importance of education and how it contributes in making the country self-reliant, the Government is committed more than ever to make education system in India robust.

As a highly progressive step, Government is leveraging rapid digitalization and development in IT X OT technologies to achieve the desired transformation in the education system in India to support the structured knowledge base for the children to enhance a citizen's Life Cycle from an early age.
