Bringing the World to Every Classroom
Overview
The Smart Class Project is GBTC Trust’s flagship initiative that brings technology-enabled learning to government and community schools across Uttar Pradesh. We install Smart TVs, laptops, inverters, and solar panels in under-resourced schools — but more importantly, we train teachers to use these tools effectively so that learning becomes visual, engaging, and inclusive.
When a child in a rural classroom experiences an animated lesson for the first time, something changes — curiosity awakens, attention grows, and learning becomes joyful.
Why It Matters
In many government schools, lessons are still taught from faded textbooks with little visual support. Children memorize but don't always understand, and teachers struggle to bring abstract concepts to life. The Smart Class Project bridges this gap—moving students from rote learning to real learning.

- Faded textbooks, minimal visuals
- Rote memorization
- Low classroom engagement
- Teachers struggle to explain concepts
After Smart Class
- Interactive digital content
- Concept clarity through visuals
- High student participation
- Teachers empowered with better tools
