The CIPLA Foundation CSR educational initiative in the Patalganga and Kurkumbh regions has taken an exciting new turn. Their initial program, providing students with iPrep tablet devices for personalized learning, saw enthusiastic adoption and impressive usage with a record of 28,660 hours in 2022-23.

From Tablets to Digital Libraries in CIPLA Foundation CSR Education Project

However, the CSR Education Project faced challenges. As students carried their educational tablets between home and school, devices were sometimes damaged or misplaced. Recognizing this, we coordinators with the team of the CIPLA Foundation devised the strategy to implement the digital library. In previous phases, students used their tablets at home and school. The new digital library model directly addresses these challenges as students submit their devices in schools to secure tablets in a digital library designed for personalized in school.

The Digital Library Model

Students in the extended CSR Education Project of CIPLA Foundation submitted their iPrep tablets to secure, school-based digital libraries. The 31 digital library is specifically setup for 9th and 10th-grade students with offline content aligned with the Maharashtra board curriculum in both Marathi and English. If needed, students can connect to the internet to access content for other grades.
