This remarkable growth is driven by a clear and inclusive vision: to integrate digital learning into the Indian school system and ensure that every school and every child, regardless of socio-economic background has access to technology-enabled education. Looking ahead, AASOKA aims to collaborate with over 20,000 schools in the next three years, expanding its reach and deepening its impact on the national education ecosystem.
