Next Education has partnered with Selco Solar India Pvt Ltd with a major focus on advancing educational access and sustainability across the nation. The partnership marks an important step towards enhancing technology adoption and active consciousness environmentally in schools of the nation.
Next Education and SELCO set out on this revolutionary journey with a shared goal of having a significant impact on education. They identified schools in areas such as Dharwad, Belgavi, Chickmagaluru, Yadgir, Hassan, and Tumkuru. Important non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in the partnership, including Youth for Seva, Menda Foundation, and Selco Foundation, were instrumental in advancing this project. Selco’s renewable solar energy solutions and Next Education’s digital classroom solutions, called Teach Next, were seamlessly integrated as a result of this collaboration.
In the last four years, Selco India’s emphasis on sustainable energy has improved schools by incorporating digital learning and using technology to create a more engaging learning environment. Through this collaboration, the enormous potential of solar-powered digital classrooms to transform education while guaranteeing sustainability and accessibility—particularly in underprivileged areas—is demonstrated.
Engaging with more than 1200 schools in rural Karnataka and expanding the impact to more than 200 schools in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Bihar are some of the collaboration’s major project highlights. This broad reach guarantees that a large geographic area will benefit from the initiative. Additionally, a revolutionary learning environment has been produced by the successful installation of more than 1400 solar-powered digital classrooms. This initiative’s beneficial effects have been amplified in both the social and educational domains by directly affecting students, teachers, and local communities.
Beas Dev Ralhan, Co-founder & CEO of Next Education India, expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership and said, “At Next Education, we are committed to revolutionising education through innovative technology. Our partnership with SELCO is a testament to our dedication to creating a sustainable and accessible learning environment for students across India. We believe that this initiative will make a profound difference in the lives of many.”
Mohan Bhaskar Hegde, Chief Executive Officer, Selco Solar India Pvt Ltd said, “SELCO’s core mission has remained unwavering: to provide sustainable energy solutions to underserved communities. Our collaboration with Next Education signifies a significant stride in leveraging renewable energy to elevate the quality of education. We are confident that the influence of this endeavour will contribute to nurturing a responsible future generation, instilling the value of sustainability in every aspect of their lives.”
