Pallab’s story illustrates the empowering role of sustainable technology in education.

Pallab Das, a student from Maroi Bijulibari High School, faced significant educational setbacks due to frequent power outages. The introduction of solar panels and smart classrooms by the Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation—initiated by Sachin Tendulkar and Schneider Electric—marked a turning point.

The newly installed solar panels ensured uninterrupted power supply, while the smart classrooms equipped the students with modern educational tools. This not only improved the learning environment but also revitalised Pallab’s interest in his studies, particularly in science.

Reflecting on his journey from studying under dim, flickering lights to engaging with interactive digital content, Pallab feels a deep sense of gratitude. The foundation’s efforts have not only transformed his school into a hub of active learning but also inspired students to pursue higher education and dream big. As the school stands as a symbol of hope and progress in Bijulibari Village, Pallab’s story illustrates the empowering role of sustainable technology in education.
