When we started bringing tablets into classrooms back in 2016, it felt like a big step towards making learning more fun and engaging for students. But soon, we were hit with a bunch of practical questions from teachers and school staff.
The most common ones were: How do we charge these tablets? Where do we keep them safely? Who will take care of all this every day? At first, we thought these were small issues—but we quickly realized they were actually very important.
We still remember a teacher telling us, “I don’t even know where to charge all these tablets.” That one line really made us stop and think. We were so focused on bringing in the latest technology that we forgot to make it easy for the people who will use it the most. This made one thing very clear: If using technology feels like a burden, it won’t work, no matter how good it is.
With this learning, we aligned even more strongly with our core philosophy—to make technology easy and seamless for both students and teachers.
We can not expect a teacher to come in every morning, unlock a cupboard, take out 25 tablets, look for 25 switches, and make sure each tablet is charged? That’s not just tough; it’s almost impossible to manage every single day, especially in rural schools that lack infrastructure and experience frequent power cuts.
This realization led us to an essential component of any digital classroom setup: the Storage and Charging Rack for Tablets
These are specially designed charging trolleys that can charge and store multiple tablets at once. Far from being just a piece of hardware, it is a smart solution that addresses multiple challenges at once—charging, safekeeping, and device management.
Moreover, our charging rack solution is also thoughtfully aligned with the revisions in the ICT Scheme under Samagra Shiksha, which now emphasizes streamlined setups for ICT labs. These revisions encourage the inclusion of charging racks as part of a complete ICT ecosystem, alongside devices such as tablets, laptops, notebooks, PCs, Integrated Teaching-Learning Devices, Digital Boards, Content Management Systems (CMS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Know More. The goal behind these updates is clear: to make ICT labs easier to set up, manage, and use consistently within classrooms, ensuring that digital tools truly support everyday learning.
