This widespread reach ensures that the initiative’s benefits are felt across a broad geographic area. Additionally, the successful implementation of over 1400 solar-powered digital classrooms has created a transformative learning environment. This initiative has also had a direct impact on students, teachers, and local communities, amplifying its positive effects across both the educational and social spheres.
