India Today
HP is set to enable 2000 digital classrooms across government schools in India as part of the HP Accessible Learning for All (ALFA) initiative that will partner with like-minded corporates/corporate foundations and NGOs.
Continuing its commitment to enhance digital learning opportunities, HP India today announced it would enable up to 2000 digital classrooms under the HP ALFA (Accessible Learning for All) initiative. These digital classrooms will be set up in government and government-aided schools across 17 states for students of Classes 9 to 12.
The initiative is aligned with the New Education Policy (NEP) -2020 vision of the Government of India goals.
HP is inviting corporate foundations and NGOs to participate in this initiative and the last date to submitting their request is October 07, 2022 through the hpindiacsr.com website
HP will fund the capital expenditure required to equip each classroom with technology including multi-function printers, webcams, a laptop for teachers, smart TVs, android boxes, and an internet dongle for connectivity.
Implementation will be managed by the HP’s NGO partner NIIT Foundation with active support from other corporations, corporate foundations, and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) as part of their CSR initiatives.
HP, through NIIT Foundation as an implementing agency, will deploy cluster coordinators to monitor project implementation and progress across different clusters.
National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT)’s DIKSHA course content and syllabus will be used for the classroom learning programme.
