digital divide

Kerala is now India’s first fully digitally literate state, empowering every citizen with digital skills.

Meenal Majumder, a former senior vice president at ICICI Securities, founded The Innovation Story (TIS) to provide project-based STEM education to children from underserved communities and private schools. TIS empowers young minds with skills in robotics, AI, and coding, bridging the digital divide and preparing them for future success.

From conducting classes at home to going door-to-door to help with lessons, each of these teachers went out of their way to ensure none of their students missed out on an education.

"When I read about Aishwarya Reddy's suicide, it shook me hard. Fortunately, my family earns enough that my brother doesn't have to worry about the things Aishwarya did. But our education system must ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else."

In an effort to empower rural India with tech intervention, ICICI Bank has digitised 100 villages in 100 days and dedicated this achievement to the nation.
