We at Vodafone Idea Foundation believe that learning is a vital part of every person’s journey to their goals. Through our various initiatives such as Jigyasa, Gurushala and Teachers & Students Scholarship Programme, we emphasize on the learning processes to promote social good and positively impact people’s lives so they can secure a better and brighter future for themselves and the nation.”
Mr. Sarvendra Vikram Bahadur Singh, Director SCERT and

often learn better from teachers, who they admire and respect. If you are a
good teacher, and your students love you, invariably, they will also well learn
from you. We need to build a conducive ecosystem for them, so that they can be
successful. It's our duty to equip them with the right solutions.”
Dr Devang Vipin Khakhar, Former Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai said “With time, more and more technology will come into our teaching practices, which will help teachers reach out to more students.
