Mankind Pharma, a prominent pharmaceutical company in India, is actively working towards improving education quality in rural regions through its ongoing ‘Digital Smart Class’ initiative. This initiative, operating under their corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm, has successfully established 220 smart classrooms in government schools across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
The Digital Smart Class initiative aims to bridge the educational gap by providing underprivileged students access to modern learning resources.

The Digital Smart Class initiative reflects their dedication to empowering rural communities with the necessary tools to thrive in the digital age.
Implemented across 170 schools in 23 clusters, the initiative has positively impacted thousands of students in remote areas. Mankind Pharma has worked closely with local authorities and educational institutions to ensure the successful implementation and sustainability of these smart classrooms.
Key features of the Digital Smart Class initiative include the establishment of 220 smart classrooms, provision of integrated teaching devices and multimedia content, comprehensive teacher training programs, and three-year project management and maintenance support.
