Sachin Tendulkar and Schneider Electric India came together in 2015 like opening batsmen to begin a new innings- Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation (SHIF). Their target was clear: improve the quality of education in schools and establish digital classrooms powered by solar energy, to make learning interactive and fun across rural and semi-urban India.
SMITA sessions based on tips to save electricity at homes and schools along with waste management were conducted last week. I got an opportunity to learn SMART tips to save electricity, which I never learnt before. I have made some STEM models in my class where I have used solar panels and got to know the advantages of using solar panels. In the future, I would like to understand more about saving power using solar panels. I am looking forward to championship events in my school.
Digital Classroom was a dream for us which would not have become true without the support from SHIF-SMITA Programme. But now our teachers have got a tool which will help them a lot to teach students more creatively.
