Chandigarh Dec.02, 2020:- Under its 'Phone Uthao Class Chalao' initiative, Hindustan Sanitaryware & Industries Ltd (HSIL) has donated over 50 phones to two different schools including Govt. Senior Secondary School, Sherpur in Haryana and Govt. Secondary School Chowkaria in Rajasthan.
The initiative started to create awareness and promote child education and sanitation in schools amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Under the program, HSIL Ltd. will be donating smartphones to schools for underprivileged children to setup a smartphone library enabling them to help students access their fundamental right to education.
In this endeavour, the company is being supported by several phone manufacturers as well as NGOs . The initiative has so far received over Rs.05 lakhs in funding towards helping schools provide students access to education, digitally, from home.
The schools have received smartphones as suited to their requirements which will help them provide education virtually to their students without risking physical contact in the time of the pandemic. Under the program, company is also reaching out to more schools to assess their requirements and support them with the necessary quantities of smartphones.
Shashvat Somany, VP strategy at HSIL Ltd, said that through this endeavour, we aim to help schools, in need, gain access to smartphones which they can then provide to their students to ensure continuous digital connectivity to classes and sessions. We also aim to extend this campaign across India in next few months.
