The transformation in Education Sector is enabling innovations in Teaching Curriculum and
Methodologies. According to data release by Unified District Information System for Education in
Academic Session, 78 % of Indian Schools do not have Internet Facilities and more than 61 % of Schools do not have functional computers. While Virtual Education Platforms are making learning accessible to students across geographical boundaries, it is essential to ensure access to the supporting infrastructure that enables education to continue.
In view of the above facts and figures Ushakiran has pledged to develop Educational Infrastructure of students from remote communities and slums of Noida. The proposed campaign aims at achieving the following objectives:
To develop Basic Educational Infrastructure where students from Marginalized communities are able to access Remedial Education, Life Skills Education Digital Education. The educational
infrastructure will include well ventilated classroom equipped with Computers, Laptops, proper

Physics and Chemistry through modern learning tools which effective use Information
