Education plays a crucial role in the growth and progress of communities across the world. The happiness and success of people depend on the foundation of rational education and learning. Young children also need emotional development along with education and grooming. As they grow up, they need to be equipped to solve problems as well as to know how to communicate their ideas and problems effectively. However, due to multiple reasons, many of the marginalized communities still don’t have access to basic or advanced learning resources. With the introduction of digital education, due to the lack of adequate digital means, the gap only seems to be widening for such children. To serve society by enabling quality education among such children.
