Hyderabad: Governor of Telangana Jishnu Dev Varma on Tuesday distributed laptops to women tutors of the Akshaya Vidya Foundation, highlighting education as the foundation for building a developed and inclusive India. This event showcased the importance of distributed laptops in empowering educators.

The distribution event, held at Lok Bhavan, focused on supporting educators who work with children from underprivileged communities. The Governor praised the foundation’s role in delivering quality education to marginalised groups and stressed that education remains the strongest driver of social and economic change. The initiative involving distributed laptops will help tutors reach more children in need.

Digital tools to enhance teaching and bridge learning gaps

Governor Dev Varma said the laptops would help tutors improve their teaching quality and ensure better digital access for students. He cited Article 21A of the Constitution, which guarantees free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14, and called knowledge a tool that empowers individuals and strengthens communities. Distributed laptops can play a key role in providing equal learning opportunities.

He also thanked Rimini Street for its corporate support to the initiative. Commending the tutors’ commitment, he noted that their work helps nurture creativity, confidence, and values among the next generation. With distributed laptops now available, technology is expected to further enhance the mission of Akshaya Vidya Foundation.

“Empowered youth, enlightened students, and a strong education system form the foundation of Viksit Bharat,” the Governor said.
