Digital Sathi – “Gift a Mobile ”
Today Mobile phones are a must for students who are studying in schools or colleges because of the new world pandemic, as their academic curricula are to be started or continued online, not everyone can afford a laptop or a computer, so a mobile being a cheaper alternative takes the space for the computer in the online lecture. Hundreds of poor children were forced to drop out of education due to lack of a digital device. The Art of Living and IAHV took an initiative to provide a basic smartphone to underprivileged students in board and senior classes. On 5th January, 2022, International Association for Human Values and Art of Living Himachal donated 1500 smart phones to the underprivileged children of the Government schools in Himachal. On this occasion Chief Minister Sh. Jai Ram Thakur handed over Smart Phones to the students of various schools for online education at his Office in Shimla the Smartphones were also distributed at each district by the Diet principals to the students in need.
