Boston (United States) Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 27 (ANI/BusinessWire India): With COVID-19 digitizing schools and colleges all over the world, the education sector has taken an inevitable hit. In an effort to help students tackle the financial aspect of the difficulties of COVID-19, a few corporations have partaken in remarkable CSR initiatives. iSchoolConnect - a US and India-based AI-powered company that helps students study abroad - launched an annual scholarship worth USD 10,000 to help students get quality education overseas.
Another example of an organization with a marvelous initiative is Byju's. The company, noticing a lack of technological equipment for education, launched a CSR initiative as a part of 'Education for All' to encourage digital learning. Their campaign, which is a people-driven movement, urges citizens to donate their smartphones, which would be refurbished and powered with Byju's content before being distributed to children with no access to education. The plan is to reach as many children as possible, specifically in remote areas of the country, by the end of 2025. The initiative will also help recycle old smartphones responsibly.
