In a world driven by technology, access to quality education is no longer confined to urban areas. Recognising the transformative potential of digital education, Admighty Foundation has taken a significant step towards revolutionising learning experiences in rural and tribal areas. Through the installation of digital classrooms in government schools across seven states, we are pioneering a new era of education, bridging the digital divide, and empowering students with enhanced learning opportunities.

Understanding the Need for Digital Education in Rural Areas

Rural and tribal areas often grapple with inadequate resources, outdated teaching methodologies, and a lack of exposure to modern educational tools. These challenges hinder the educational growth of students, restricting their access to quality learning experiences. Recognising the disparity in educational access, Admighty Foundation embarked on a mission to introduce digital classrooms, aiming to transform the educational landscape in these underserved regions.

Installation of Digital Classrooms: A Game-Changer

In our relentless pursuit of empowering rural education, Admighty Foundation has installed state-of-the-art digital classrooms in government schools across seven states. Equipped with interactive whiteboards, audio-visual aids, computers, and internet connectivity, these classrooms offer a dynamic learning environment conducive to engaging and immersive education.

Impact and Benefits of Digital Classrooms: The introduction of digital classrooms has revolutionised the way education is imparted in these regions. The impact has been profound:

Enhanced Learning Experience: The interactive nature of digital classrooms fosters a more engaging and participative learning environment. Visual aids, educational videos, and interactive lessons captivate students’ attention, making learning more enjoyable and effective.

Access to Quality Content: Digital classrooms open doors to a vast array of educational content and resources. Students can access e-books, educational videos, online courses, and multimedia content, providing a comprehensive and enriched learning experience.

Empowerment of Educators: The introduction of technology has transformed the role of educators. Teachers are now equipped with tools and resources to deliver more interactive and effective lessons, enhancing their teaching methodologies.

Bridge the Digital Divide: Installing digital classrooms mitigates the digital divide prevalent in rural areas. It provides students with exposure to technology, preparing them for the digital world and expanding their horizons.

Community Engagement and Participation

Our initiative goes beyond mere installation; it involves community engagement and capacity building. We conduct training programs for teachers, empowering them with the skills to effectively utilise digital resources in their teaching practices. Additionally, we engage with parents and community members, emphasising the importance of digital education in shaping the future of their children.

Success Stories and Transformative Impact

The transformative impact of digital classrooms is evident through success stories of students excelling academically, increased interest in learning, and enhanced educational outcomes. Students are not only acquiring knowledge but also developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy skills essential for their future.

Sustainability and Future Endeavours

Admighty Foundation remains committed to sustaining and expanding this initiative. We continue to collaborate with stakeholders, government bodies, and local communities to ensure the continued success and scalability of digital classrooms. Our aim is to reach more schools, expand technological infrastructure, and empower more students with access to quality digital education.

A voluntary help, either in terms of money or kind, towards needy people, is known as charity. It not only makes you feel happy from within, but when you donate you can also save some tax.

Today, there are various Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other non-profit bodies that collectively work towards conducting charitable activities that help them raise funds or non-monetary charity for people in need. Such institutions have put forth their best efforts that further play a significant role in promoting the various economic development and social welfare objectives that the Indian Government has initiated. The outreach and localised approach that NGOs and other non-profit entities follow has allowed for the identification of the needy and helps in ensuring that a supporting hand is provided to them. This is one of the key reasons why the Government of India offers tax incentives and exemptions to NGOs and charitable organisations with the exemptions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act being the most significant ones.

What is Tax Exemption?

The reduction or removal of a liability to make a mandatory payment that is otherwise imposed by the ruling power on a property, individual, income, and so on, is known as tax exemption.

Exemption of tax for donations to charitable trusts and NGOs, from property and income taxes for veterans, cross-border scenarios, and so on, are some of the examples of tax exemption.
