E-Learning Program

39 GMR-IBM Kidsmart Early Learning Centers, are operational which provide technology-aided learning environments for early learners. Crafted in partnership with IBM, every centre has three corners - Technology, Craft and Reading, which works to make learning fun. The centres serve students of Govt. Schools who have limited access to tech-aided education.

These ELCs have been initiated at different locations targeting children mainly from Govt. Schools where access to technology-aided quality education is rarely available.

Each Centre has three corners -Technology Corner, Craft Corner and Reading Corner, with specific activities designed for each Corner. These Corners give the child a chance to explore and learn things with fun.
