Digital education plays a crucial role in imparting education today.  With the help of a computer, smartphone or laptop and the internet, education can now be made available to any child, staying in any part of the world.

However, several schools in rural regions do not have the resources to bring digital education to the students. To bring accessibility to digital literacy and learning enhancement in regular and out-of-school children, through capacity building of teachers and the use of technology, the Digital Classroom Project is being implemented in 16 Government schools of Raigarh and Mungeli districts of Chhattisgarh.

During the nation-wide lockdown, to curb the spread of COVID-19, HPPI’s Digital Classroom Project continued to impart education since they already had the resources and knowledge under the Project.During the lockdown, Samagara Shiksha Abhiyan Chhattisgarh started the “Padai Tuhar Para” campaign under which the Project started conducting “Mohalla and Digital Mohlala Classes”. Teachers under the Project carried the Digital Kit and conducted group classes in the communities under the vision “My Home My School.”

After almost a year, 14 computer labs out of 16 have now reopened with permission from local authorities and schools.Currently, 2,039 students access the digital platform while 910 women have benefitted from the Digital Functional Literacy Programme.

The Digital Classroom Project is implemented in Chhattisgarh in collaboration with Nokia India Sales Private Ltd (NISPL) and Rajiv Gandhi Shiksha Mission, Chhattisgarh.
