Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Ravinder Zutshi, Deputy Managing Director, Samsung India, said, “Samsung places great importance on providing children from less privileged backgrounds the opportunity to receive

The Samsung Smart Class uses Samsung products such as the Samsung Smartboard, laptops and tablets to enable students to access digital content and be part of an interactive environment in the classroom. Students are taught mathematics; science and social science in an engaging and collaborative manner, helping them retain what they learn better.  The Samsung Smart Class is one of several initiatives that the employee volunteers undertook. Besides setting up the computers, they also introduced children to their varied usages including use of interactive software and educational videos as well as clicking, transferring and editing images. The volunteers also engaged the children in basic health and hygiene education.

“We are delighted that our colleagues from Korea and India spent time in Baidpura on various educational programs and helped with setting up the Smart School,” added Mr. Zutshi.”The Samsung Employee Volunteering Program is a global program where we channel our employees’ experience and skills into our social initiatives. As a global leader in technology, Samsung is always looking for ways to use our legacy of innovation to offer people newer possibilities – both through our products and our employees’ expertise.”
