New Delhi: OPPO India has joined hands with Kesari Devi Charitable Trust to help the trust provide quality education to underprivileged children. The initiative stems from the insight that children from the underprivileged Kosara region, due to their financial constraints, do not have access to advanced learning tools and digital educational infrastructure in their village.

With this program, OPPO aims to bridge the disparity in the learning opportunities available to certain sections of society. By providing technological access to children, OPPO is encouraging the next generation of India to become self-sufficient. For many children, proximity to school in rural areas, the poor quality of education, and the non-availability of digital infrastructure are major hindrances in getting access to basic education.

OPPO’s collaboration with Kesari Devi Charitable Trust aims to tackle these challenges at a grassroots level. We at OPPO were inspired by the vision of the Banaras Hindu University professors who set up this organisation and have been doing such commendable work to educate children who lack access to quality modern education due to their financial or social status. The Round Table Abhinav Vidyalaya in Kosara, Varanasi, is a Kesari Devi Charitable Trust initiative catering to children in pre-nursery to Class VIII.

Commenting on the collaboration, Vivek Vasishtha, Vice-President, Public Affairs, OPPO India, said, “As a youth-centric and socially responsible brand, OPPO has always been committed to empowering children through education. Children are the greatest asset of our country, and we are aware of the challenges faced by children in accessing quality education in rural areas.”

“Our belief in equal access to learning opportunities has led us to partner with the Kesari Devi Charitable Trust, an organisation working to empower marginalised sections of the society. Through this program, we aim to help Roundtable Abhinav Vidyalaya to improve its infrastructure to ensure that holistic education opportunities are offered to all,” he added.

Professor Ajit Tripathi, Managing Trustee, Kesari Devi Charitable Trust, said, “At the Kesari Devi Charitable Trust, we aim to provide good quality modern education to children from economically deprived rural communities. I am grateful to OPPO Mobiles India for supporting us through their CSR initiative. We are sure that this partnership will make education more accessible to marginalised children, and access to technology will further empower them to excel in the competitive world.” /BI/
