School on TAB, initiative to help underprivileged students

School on TAB – The covid-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of life, affecting people of all ages. Many individuals lost their jobs, the economy stalled, and other problems arose. It is thought that when there is a problem, there will be a solution quickly, and people will begin to adjust to the “new normal.” Working from home became popular, and schools began to go online as well.

Online education is now available to students. Online systems such as Zoom, Google Meet, and others are used to hold classes. As a result, in order to attend lessons, students must have a stable internet connection as well as a device, such as a tablet, smartphone, or laptop.

These devices are relatively costly, and kids from remote areas may not be able to buy them. Students frequently fail to show up for online classes. As a result, kids are losing out on classes at a critical time in their lives.

As a result, this is a critical issue that must be handled because it directly affects the youth’s future. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the Centre for Transforming India (CFTI) has devised a plan to deliver tablets (smart devices) to kids in rural regions as part of its “school on tab” campaign.

The Centre for Transforming India (CFTI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment of rural communities and the elements that influence them. This performs a number of projects at the same time, including bicycle distribution, tablet distribution, and so on. The CFTI thinks that there should be no distinction between individuals who live in cities and those who live in rural areas. They have implemented a variety of poverty alleviation programmes to assist individuals in rural areas and improve their level of living. There are plans for education, agriculture, food and medicine, economic prospects, and more.

School on TAB Initiative

Naba Basar’s spouse abandoned her. Shubhan, who is in class 5, Rinsha, who is in class 3, and Sadik, who is in class 1, are her three children. She barely made 6000 rupees a month, making it impossible for her to purchase technology for her children to attend online classes. Because Naba couldn’t buy gadgets for her children’s online education, the youngsters missed several of their online classes. They were absent from class for about six months. CFTI assessed the situation and determined that the children required immediate assistance. They provide the kids a tablet as part of the “school on tab” initiative. CFTI also contacted the school to request the return of six months of lectures.

The assistance was not confined to Naba Basar’s or Ishwari Shashikant Patil’s children, but many other youngsters benefited from the CFTI’s “school on tab” campaign. CFTI has provided over 700 tablets to youngsters so far. In this difficult period of the pandemic, CFTI’s noble endeavour has played a vital part in educating youngsters. CFTI prioritizes education and is doing everything in its power to assist children who wish to continue their education.

More than 27% of school-aged students are financially disadvantaged and cannot afford to take online education. As a result, CFTI recognizes the gravity of the situation and has pledged to contribute twelve crore rupees to distribute ten thousand pills to those in need. They aim to concentrate their efforts on slums like Parvati Slum, Dharavi Slum, and others.
