An important Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed today at Coal Bhawan Headquarters between BCCL and EdCIL India Limited for the implementation of the project ‘Establishment of Smart Classrooms and ICT Labs in 80 Government Schools of Dhanbad’. Present on the occasion were CMD BCCL, Manoj Kumar Agarwal, Director (HR) Murali Krishna Ramaiah, Head of Department (CSR) Surendra Bhushan and CGM (DES) of EdCIL Dr. Pawan Kumar Sharma.
The project aims to provide a modern, technology-rich learning environment to students in underprivileged and remote areas of the Dhanbad region. The establishment of smart classrooms and ICT labs will not only promote digital literacy but is also expected to significantly improve student learning, attendance, and academic outcomes. This initiative will make education more engaging, effective, and participatory for students in rural and urban fringe areas.
In his address on the occasion, CMD, Mr. Manoj Kumar Agarwal, stated that education is the cornerstone of any society’s progress. This important initiative aims to provide children with modern, inclusive, and quality education, providing them with easy and accessible access to modern educational facilities, proper development of their talents, and enabling them to meet future challenges. He stated that BCCL is committed to the development of every segment of society and such efforts will continue.
It is noteworthy that during the last few years, BCCL has made continuous positive efforts on education and skill development through its CSR initiatives, so that quality education and better opportunities can be made available to the youth of the region and the socio-economic upliftment of Dhanbad can get a sustainable boost.
With the signing of the MoU, the implementation of the project has formally begun, which will soon usher in a new era of digital education in the government schools of Dhanbad.
