Mankind Pharma Expands CSR With Digital Classrooms In UP Schools

Mankind Pharma Limited has inaugurated Digital Smart Classrooms across government schools in Uttar Pradesh as part of its CSR platform, KindCare, marking a continued expansion of the company’s social investment beyond healthcare delivery. The initiative has enabled 460 digital classrooms across 400 government schools, supporting technology-led learning in underserved communities.

While healthcare remains central to Mankind Pharma’s CSR strategy, the Digital Smart Classroom Initiative reflects a broader focus on strengthening education as a key determinant of long-term public health outcomes and human capital development. A core component of the programme is teacher empowerment, with over 2,400 teachers trained to effectively integrate digital tools into classroom teaching.

The initiative was inaugurated in Ghaziabad by Shri Sunil Kumar Sharma, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister for Information Technology and Electronics, Government of Uttar Pradesh, and is being implemented in partnership with SEEDS Impact.

Speaking at the inauguration, Sunil Kumar Sharma, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister for Information Technology and Electronics, Government of Uttar Pradesh, said, “Mankind Pharma deserves recognition for its commitment to strengthening education in underserved communities through the Digital Smart Classroom Initiative. By enabling technology-led learning in government schools, the initiative addresses critical gaps in access and quality at a time when digital literacy is essential for future opportunity. Its community-first approach, with a strong focus on empowering teachers and strengthening local school ecosystems, ensures that the benefits are sustainable and reach those who need them most.”

Sheetal Arora, Promoter & CEO, Mankind Pharma Limited, said, “Education has the power to shape not just individual futures but the destiny of communities. Through KindCare, our CSR platform, we have consciously taken a community-first approach, focusing on areas where access to quality education remains a challenge. The Digital Smart Classroom Initiative is rooted in empathy and responsibility, recognising that true progress begins when students and teachers are given the right tools, confidence, and support to succeed. This initiative is not about technology alone; it is about dignity, opportunity, and ensuring that children in remote and underserved regions are not left behind in an increasingly digital world.”
