Mankind Pharma should be recognized for its persistent effort of strengthening education in underprivileged areas through the Digital Smart Classroom Initiative. The initiative, by facilitating technology- based learning in government schools, caters to the most urgent problems of access and quality when digital literacy becomes an indispensable requirement for future opportunity. Its community first approach, incorporating a major emphasis on teacher empowerment and local school ecosystem development, guarantees the sustenance of the benefits and that they would be the ones who are most in need of them.

A significant part of this programme is the empowerment of teachers. More than 2, 400 teachers have been trained to use digital tools in the classroom effectively. "Education has the potential to not only change the lives of individuals but also the whole community. Through KindCare, our CSR platform, we have consciously taken a community first approach, focusing on areas where quality education is still a problem, " said Sheetal Arora, Promoter and CEO, Mankind Pharma Limited. Digital Smart Classroom Initiative is a gesture of empathy and a sense of responsibility and it recognizes that real development only happens when students and teachers are given the right tools, confidence, and support to achieve their goals. The initiative goes beyond technology; it is about the basic human rights, equal chances, and making sure that children living in far and neglected areas are not left behind in the rapidly changing digital world."
