A powerful partnership is changing lives in rural Karnataka. Collins Aerospace, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, is bringing modern technology to government residential schools run by the Karnataka Residential Educational Institutions Society (KREIS). New computer labs, advanced STEM labs, and interactive digital boards are now helping underprivileged students build critical tech skills.
Why This Matters
KREIS schools serve students from marginalized communities, many from Scheduled Caste (SC) backgrounds. These residential schools provide food, shelter, and education—but until now, access to technology has been limited.
Collins Aerospace is changing that with:
- Computer Labs: Equipped with fast PCs, internet, and learning software.
- STEM Labs: Featuring robotics kits, 3D printers, and hands-on experiment tools.
- Interactive Digital Boards: Smart boards that make lessons visual, engaging, and collaborative.
These upgrades give rural students the same tools used in top urban schools.
Real Impact in Nidagunda
Take two schools in Nidagunda village:
- Morarji Desai Residential PU College (SC-909)
- Morarji Desai Residential School (SC-310)
Every morning, students use the new facilities during SSLC exam prep sessions.
“Science used to feel abstract. Now, with the digital board and lab tools, we see it in action,” says a Class 10 student.
Teachers report:
- Higher attendance in STEM classes
- Better understanding of tough topics
- More students interested in engineering and IT
Beyond the Classroom
This isn’t just about equipment. It’s about equal opportunity.
Collins Aerospace is:
- Closing the digital divide
- Preparing students for future jobs
- Supporting India’s goals like Digital India
A Model for Others
Collins Aerospace shows how companies can make a real difference with focused, practical CSR. By targeting government residential schools, they’re creating lasting change—one lab, one student, one future at a time.
More KREIS schools are set to receive these upgrades soon. Stay tuned.
