New Delhi, Feb 10 (INB) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated 100 advanced information and communication technology labs across Delhi government schools on Tuesday.
Under this initiative, each of the 100 schools has been equipped with a state-of-the-art ICT lab featuring 20 computers and one Interactive Flat Panel Display (IFPD). To ensure the labs are used effectively, each school gets a trained resource person to help teachers and students with digital learning.
“Before completing one year of our government, we have delivered a century of 100 computer labs for Delhi’s marginalised students. We thank the American India Foundation and Ladli Foundation for partnering with us in this important mission,” Gupta said.
The labs have been set up under the Digital Equalizer Program of the American India Foundation (AIF), in partnership with Ladli Foundation Trust. The inauguration ceremony was held at Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Mansarovar Garden.
“Through the Digital Equalizer Program, we aim to reduce learning inequities by expanding access to technology and building digital confidence among students. These labs will open new learning and career pathways for thousands of young learners,” AIF CEO Nishant Pandey said
The initiative supports students as education becomes more digital. Many government school students have had limited access to technology, which has affected their ability to learn basic digital skills. These ICT labs help close this gap by bringing reliable, hands-on digital learning directly into school classrooms.
Education Minister Ashish Sood, Director of Education Veditha Reddy, AIF CEO Nishant Pandey , Founder of Ladli Foundation Devendra Kumar Gupta along with senior education officials, school principals, teachers, and students were present at the occasion.
