The project aims to offer academic support to the Covid-19 Warriors’ children by bridging digital divide due to closure of schools, to help them continue their academic sessions seamlessly”
The philanthropic initiative is a part of COVID-19 CSR 2.0 Program under ‘Hyundai Cares’ campaign, which focuses on uninterrupted education for students of class IV to XI (CBSE and ICSE boards). The endeavor focused on the COVID-19 Warriors predominantly working as Healthcare and Police staff. The educational device has been embedded with two-year free subscription of the curriculum catering to the educational needs of students across state.
According to a recent survey, 1 out of 4 students are unable to attend online schooling because they do not have a laptop/desktop or a tablet. Project – ‘Shikshak’ initiative is a small step towards helping such families who are struggling to bridge this digital divide and enable the students to their basic Right to Education.
