Twenty-four Kerala schools to get smart classroom upgrades

The Ernakulam district panchayat in Kerala has signed an agreement with Cochin Shipyard Limited to implement a smart school project across 24 educational institutions under its jurisdiction. The collaboration aims to enhance learning infrastructure and digital capabilities in the district's schools.

Cochin Shipyard has committed ₹1.24 crore towards the project through its corporate social responsibility programme. The funding will support the implementation of modern educational technologies and smart classroom infrastructure across the participating schools.

The initiative reflects growing efforts in Kerala to integrate digital learning tools into primary and secondary education. By upgrading facilities at the district panchayat-managed schools, the project seeks to improve educational outcomes and bridge the digital divide in classroom learning.

Details regarding the specific technological upgrades and implementation timeline are expected to be finalized as part of the ongoing collaboration between the district panchayat and Cochin Shipyard. The project is anticipated to benefit hundreds of students across the Ernakulam district.
