The Chief Guest for the day was Mr. Jyoti Sagar, Advocate and Solicitor, Ms. Daniella Brinks, a committed donor of Deepalaya since many years and Ms. Asha Narang, the owner of the Ramditti Jiwanda Ram Narang Trust.

Mr. Mathew further added that, “It is indeed a dream come true for the underprivileged children to get access to such technology which is only possible for their privileged peers. Education is a fundamental right for the children and this technology is a cherry on the cake. It signifies that we are indeed growing in quality. This School is now fifteen years old and one can see the confidence and spark in each student of this School.”

One of the teachers demonstrated how the Smart Class works to the guests and how every subject whether in English or Hindi could be represented in a pictorial manner. The children were also very excited with the introduction of the new technology in the School. They showcased their latent talents to celebrate the day. Despite the space-constraint, the students presented melodious songs and colourful dance performances for the guests. The School was also glittering with the decorations done for the occasion of Diwali.

Later, Mr. Jyoti Sagar shared his experience after witnessing the demonstration of the Smart Class.He said, “I feel pleased to see the interest developed amongst the teachers and students regarding learning. I hope it makes a big difference in the lives of the underprivileged children. I am proud to be associated with an organization that creates a quest for learning and sustains it.”

This is Deeplaya’s yet another flagship program which aims at transforming the lives of the underprivileged and giving them equal opportunities like their privileged peers. The Smart Class empowers teachers to use technology right inside the classrooms. It enables a multi sensory learning experience for the students and aims to transform our present day classrooms into “technologies enabled classrooms.” It is a teacher led and curriculum based technology driven innovative educational program. It has revolutionized the way teacher teaches in the classroom, making the learning process both cognitive and constructive.

This is the only Deepalaya School that runs in collaboration with an external family and the infrastructure and hardware for the school set up is provided by the Ramditti Jiwanda Ram Narang Trust. Ms. Asha Narang was emotional after witnessing the changed set up of the School and was glad to see the enthusiastic faces of the children for the new technology. She feels that this technology would keep the children interested in attending and learning in the classroom.

I would like to thank the supporters of the organization who trust on the work we do for the society.My students are already very excited with the new technology installed and I hope it contributes towards our aim of providing quality education.”
