With the aim to empower and provide children from underprivileged backgrounds an equal opportunity to learn, the BYJU’S ‘Education for All’ initiative has collaborated with Seva Trust UK (India). With this collaboration, BYJU’S and Seva Trust UK (India) aim to bring technology-driven learning to nearly 1.5 lakh students in government schools in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.
Through this partnership, BYJU’S will enable access to high-quality and engaging content, along with tech-driven digital learning tools for underprivileged children in these states. It further amplifies BYJU’S vision of providing a holistic and conducive educational environment for students everywhere, regardless of their socio-economic background, location, and proficiency.
