Digital classrooms to make learning come alive
Learning comes to life when a child learns from different sources, not just textbooks and teachers. Smita creates a digital classroom in each school with Smart TVs and internet connection

About Smita
SMITA is a program that Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation (SHIF) operates in rural government schools, and we nurture it with great care. Our goal is not to take baby steps but to make a significant leap forward. Currently, the program serves 321 schools, and we plan to double that number to 500 by the calendar year 2025.
Program Scope
At the heart of the Smita program are three powerful initiatives
to transform the way children learn in government schools:
Rooftop solar panels to power the digital classrooms
Why should irregular power supply interrupt digital learning? We place solar panels on the school rooftops and let the power of the sun run the digital classroom.
Energy & Environment Conservation Education to sensitize students
Global warming and depleting natural resources are a threat the children must be aware of. This is done with the help of the Energy & Environment Conservation Education program which holds learning sessions, interactive activities, skill building competition to transform students into Green Ambassadors.
Vision
Like all things begin small, so did Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation (SHIF). Started as a pilot project in 2015, it spread like laughter in a silent valley. The tune of a passion slowly built into a crescendo of epic ambition. Why not the whole of India? And why just solar power? Why not digital power to thriving young minds?
How we translate this vision:
- Making digital education available to young eager minds, so that their learning can thrive. To ensure learning never stops in regions with irregular power supply, use solar power to run these digital tools.
- Sensitizing them about the need to preserve the environment with the help of the Conservation of Energy & Environment Education Programme. Not just in theory. Students are involved in turning them into ‘Green Ambassadors’.
