How far have you reached in accomplishing your mission?
Every sector and industry today is online and schools should remain no exception. We believe in bringing unique features that help the parents and schools save time and move towards paperless schools. We work towards creating awareness in the K-12 segment by conducting webinars, school outreach programs and various orientations. We have also implemented the solution in few government schools which is extremely rewarding. We, as a team, believe that technology can reach even the remotest parts of our country and schools should be benefitted by the new digital initiatives. We have initiated ties with Kirgizstan and Afghanistan last year through UNESCO MGIEP program which is in the process of completion this year.
