The Shikhar Dhawan Foundation announced the expansion of its flagship education programme, Digital Shiksha, to the NeeV Learning Centre in Gurugram, with the CSR support of TBO Tek Limited. With this latest installation, the Digital Shiksha programme has now transformed learning and positively impacted more than 15,000 children across India.
Driven by the vision of former India international cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, the foundation, the philanthropic arm of Da One Group, continues to expand its commitment to strengthening access to modern learning tools for underserved communities.
Digital Shiksha transforms classrooms with state-of-the-art Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) and a licensed K–12 digital curriculum. It replaces textbook-heavy learning with an engaging, visual format that helps students grasp concepts faster and enables teachers to deliver structured, digital-first lessons. At NeeV, the installation brings immersive content across science, mathematics and languages, creating a more interactive and engaging classroom experience.
Anshita Sharma Gupta, Group CEO Da One said, “We have always believed that education should be inclusive, future-ready and accessible to every child. Digital Shiksha reflects that belief by bringing immersive learning into classrooms that need it most. We are focused on building a wider network of schools where technology becomes an enabler of progress.”
Sophie Shine, Group COO Da One added, “Meaningful social impact is created when vision is matched with thoughtful execution. Digital Shiksha brings together technology, training and continuous support to build a sustainable learning ecosystem that empowers both students and educators to thrive.”
Preeti Sandhal – Vice President – People Success (India Business), TBO Tek Limited said, “At TBO, we strongly believe that access to quality education is one of the most powerful equalizers. Our partnership with the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation for the Digital Shiksha initiative reflects our commitment to enabling inclusive and technology-driven learning for every child. We are proud to support the installation at NeeV Learning Centre, which will create a more engaging and future-ready classroom experience for students. As a technology-led organization, we understand the transformative impact that digital tools can have on learning outcomes, confidence and aspirations.”
The foundation’s digital education journey began with the Smart Libraries Initiative in 2022, introducing basic digital tools for everyday learning. This paved the way for Digital Shiksha, now active in 25+ underserved schools with average enrolments of 500+ students. The programme includes teacher training, student orientation, regular monitoring visits and backend analytics to track usage, adoption and support needs, ensuring consistent, measurable impact.
